[Benjamin Xiao <1303063@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am getting a lot of these crashes and from the numerous bug reports it
seems like a lot of people are too. Happens about once every week and
every time it happens, the whole interface freezes up for 30 seconds or
so before it restarts. I almost always get these while doing a search in
the Dash or quitting a fullscreen game.

This bug really breaks the Unity experience.
