gnome-panel applets crashing with compiz 0.9

(confirmed by other desktop team member and sam as well)

According to a comment on the dup, this has already been fixed in trunk.

This is still not fixed. With the latest Updates installed, longing in Natty GNOME Desktop I am still getting these applet crashes

Triaged doesn't mean fixed, it means "we know why this is happening".

Indeed.

The fix is going to have to change a lot within core, and that has the
potential to cause a lot of breakage so it needs lots of testing.

In syslog I'm getting:

Jan 6 20:37:02 gilgamesch kernel: [ 3234.679099] gnome-panel[5488] trap int3 ip:7f2a530df8d5 sp:7fffa5fe2ec0 error:0

Natty is not released so no regression-release

I've fixed this locally, but it exacerbates a few other bugs so I'm going to wait until I've fixed those before I upload this.

Also fixes any related flash crashes in chromium

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop4-0ubuntu4
