Comment 48 for bug 173265

the new Deb doesn't fix it here either - and it's present in alpha 2. A bit of a shame - I guess Vesa is the only option to keep it functional at the mo' :(

I've also found that the gnome-panel becomes unclickable (and becomes blank) - not sure if it's related but it seems to be linked with maximising the video windows while trying to figure out the crash. Strangely even restarting X does not resolve the issue so I've put myself a link to gnome-terminal on the Desktop
