Title:
  metacity (flashback) crashes and forces logout

Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in metacity source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in metacity source package in Yakkety:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Metacity can segfault in several cases. It is a regression introduced by 1:3.18.3-1ubuntu3 upload.

  [Test Case]
  The exact step to get this bug are unknown. Just using Metacity for some time may make it crashing. Perhaps doing more WM-related operations (like Alt+Tabbing) may speed up triggering it.

  [Regression Potential]
  This fix is tested by several users and seems to not have any regressions.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  After an update 2 or 3 days ago, at random times mid-session, all
  window decorations vanish, then the desktop goes to black (just
  time/date stamp showing IIRC, as at a screen lock), and then I'm
  presented with a login screen again.

  I was logging in with Gnome Flashback.  It's been happening several
  times a day, and it's infuriating.

  This time I've logged in with the "(Metacity)" option rather than the
  (Flashback)" option, and I'll see if that works.  Otherwise, I'll go
  back to a Window Maker session to get a reliable experience.

  I see this in /var/log/kern.log:
