[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1011027] Re: Desktop crashes to login screen when opening links in Thunderbird

2012-06-11 Thread Alex Cabal
Today I noticed that I can simply try launching Firefox (without having clicked on a link in Thunderbird) and it will sometimes crash to the login screen, so I think this bug might be more appropriately filed against Firefox. ** Also affects: firefox Importance: Undecided Status: New

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1011027] [NEW] Desktop crashes to login screen when opening links in Thunderbird

2012-06-09 Thread Alex Cabal
Public bug reported: I installed 12.04 a few weeks ago without problems. About two days ago (2012-06-08), I started experiencing crashes almost every time I would click a URL in an email in Thunderbird (thus invoking Firefox). The desktop instantly kicks me back to the login screen without

This bug affects me too, and I may have found a workaround. The report gave a hint that if they chmod'd /usr/bin/unity-window-decorator, things seem to work again, but without Compiz. That made me investigate CCSM a little bit. If you open CCSM and go to the Window Decoration plugin under
