[Bug 757496] [NEW] Grid plugin (aero snap) crashes entire desktop session

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I run natty on virtualbox as a test. Since todays updates (went from a
blue overlay animation to an orange animation) the grid snap in crashes
the entire desktop quite reliably. When I drag it to the top it snaps
but suddenly freezes the entire screen. I have to then kill the
virtualbox process to get anything to work again. This doesn't happen
each time, but you can try again and again and maybe after the 3rd time
it will crash. The 1st time it happened it crashed after the 2nd try.
