I had been using gnubiff in the gnome panel in Ubuntu 16.04.
I recently did an in-place upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.
Now X crashes whenever mail is received.

In place upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

gnubiff from package gnubiff 2.2.17-build1

In Gnome Flashback (Metacity) display manager.

Add gnubiff to gnome-panel

Then receive mail

Gnubiff icon moves down the panel so its not completely visible.
Then X dies and I'm sent back to the login page.

I try login again and I'm immediately logged out again with the same
error.

I can login with Ubuntu ( display manager ) ok
Then I can use dconf-editor to remove gnubiff from the panel
org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout
remove 'gnubiff-applet' from this list.
After that I can login using Gnome Flashback (Metacity)
without error.

Then I get a ubuntu-bug popup

Ubuntu 18.04 has experienced an internal error.
/usr/bin/gnome-panel
gnome-panel crashed with signal 5 in XGetWindowProperty()
