Title:
  workbench crashes metacity on ubuntu 16.04

Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in metacity source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in metacity source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Metacity can crash with XError (BadRegion) sometimes when closing windows.

  This, in turn, can lead gnome-session to forcefully stop the session.

  [Test Case 1]
  Described in comment #3.

  [Test Case 2]
  * Launch LibreOffice Writer.
  * Add a table to a document.
  * Open "Border Style" popup window from the table toolbar.
  * Wait for the window to appear and then quickly close it.
  * If Metacity does not crash, repeat the process several times.

  [Regression Potential]
  The fix is small (just adding an error trap) and will not cause any 
regressions.

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

  I installed mysql-workbench and gnome-session-flashback on ubuntu
  16.04 and whenever I start mysql-workbench metacity or X11 but I think
  metacity crashes and I am returned to the login screen after a few
  seconds.

  I am uncertain if mysql-workbench works in the default unity
  configuration as after installing gnome-session-flashback I can no
  longer login to the default unity experience.

  My mysql-workbench logs where not really helpfull but if you would
  really like them I could include them.

  I also tried to compile mysql-workbench from source but the gtk2
  version included with ubuntu 16.04 seems to be incompatible due to the
  deprecation of a data type: GdkPixBuf

  ubuntu version - 16.04
  package - mysql-workbench 6.3.6 amd64
  what i expected - open mysql workbench
  what happened - black screen and returned to login
