Oneiric, Calibre 0.8.8 from the official Ubuntu repo, same behavior.

I poked around a little and it seems that Calibre sets an impossible
size requirement on the WM.  xprop returns the following:

[ snip ]
program specified minimum size: 16383 by 16383
program specified size: 16777215 by 16777215

While this is most certainly a *glaring* omission on the part of
Metacity and gnome-shell which both crash and/or consume inordinate
amounts of memory trying to allocate billions of pixels, Calibre should
play nice as well.  (Unity was the only WM which actually let Calibre
run, giving it an invisible window; that's how I got to xprop it in the
first place.)
