** Description changed:

- [Impact]
- 
- * Games using the Unity engine (like KSP) cause gnome-panel to crash,
- making things like flashback unusable.
- 
- [Test Case]
- 
- * Launch Kerbal Space Program.  Not sure whether there's a simpler test
- case for those without KSP.
- 
- * I have verified that libwnck3 (3.14.0-1) allows gnome-panel to
- continue running in 14.10.
- 
- [Regression Potential]
- 
- * The patch for the bug suggests the possibility of weirdly colored
- icons where crashes used to occur.
