Hi. I can't reproduce the bug here.

However, I have some new steps to try and create a useful stacktrace, if you're still experiencing the problem.

1. Make sure you have libgtk2.0-0-dbg and libgtk2.0-0-dev installed (Don't think the -dev is required)
2. from a terminal run:
firefox -g
This should dump you to a gdb prompt
3. from the gdb prompt, run 'set args -a firefox --sync'
4. from the gdb prompt, run 'break gdk_x_error' (press y to the question)
5. from the gdb prompt, run 'run'
6. reproduce the crash in the window (it will take a while to appear)
7. Hopefully (with libgtk2-dbg installed) it will find the gdk_x_error function and break on it properly
8. If it does so, you can then run 'thread apply all bt' to get a decent stacktrace.

Thanks.
