13.04 is no longer supported. Is this still a problem on
12.04/14.04/14.10? If yes, can you reproduce also on other shells
(gnome-shell, gnome classic, etc?)

Title:
  Whole system stops responding because of a single buggy application

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As per this bug report:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72569
  there's a bug in LibreOffice that causes it to stop responding in certain reproducible situations.
  The relevant thing here is that the WHOLE SYSTEM stops responding and you can't even switch window, open a terminal, or close the offending application, in this case Libre OFfice.

  If a single buggy (or even malicious) application can cause the whole
  system to become unusable, there is a bug in the system itself.

  I can switch to a virtual console with ctrl+alt+f1 and kill the
  offending libreOffice process in this case, so I guess the issue is
  somewhere between Unity and X, rather than in linux. But this is only
  a guess.
