** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Metacity can crash with XError (BadRegion) sometimes when closing windows.
+ 
+ This, in turn, can lead gnome-session to forcefully stop the session.
+ 
+ [Test Case 1]
+ Described in comment #3.
+ 
+ [Test Case 2]
+ * Launch LibreOffice Writer.
+ * Add a table to a document.
+ * Open "Border Style" popup window from the table toolbar.
+ * Wait for the window to appear and then quickly close it.
+ * If Metacity does not crash, repeat the process several times.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The fix is small (just adding an error trap) and will not cause any 
regressions.
+

  I installed mysql-workbench and gnome-session-flashback on ubuntu 16.04
  and whenever I start mysql-workbench metacity or X11 but I think
  metacity crashes and I am returned to the login screen after a few
  seconds.
  
  I am uncertain if mysql-workbench works in the default unity
  configuration as after installing gnome-session-flashback I can no
  longer login to the default unity experience.
  
  My mysql-workbench logs where not really helpfull but if you would
  really like them I could include them.
  
  I also tried to compile mysql-workbench from source but the gtk2 version
  included with ubuntu 16.04 seems to be incompatible due to the
  deprecation of a data type: GdkPixBuf
  
  ubuntu version - 16.04
  package - mysql-workbench 6.3.6 amd64
  what i expected - open mysql workbench
  what happened - black screen and returned to login
