There is a persistent bug I have on fresh Natty (alpha3) with Unity; hope this is the one. Note that I have 'scite' installed and tried to make it default text editor... So basically, I open several tabs in Nautilus in one Unity workspace, open Scite in another workspace, and open Firefox (Minefield) in third. Everything works fine for a while - and then, usually when I try to open a file either in Scite or pdf in Evince, no window appears and something in Unity freezes - usually it's the title bars (so they cannot be moved) - but then, Alt+drag sometimes works in this case, sometimes not... Another symptom is that file items in Nautilus cannot be selected with the mouse anymore.

Anyways, after this happens, cannot open files with right-click anymore, so then usually logout (clicking there is still possible, usually), and during logoff, after most windows have shut down, I can usually see that actually there is a crash report window in the background that barely becomes visible and then it too shuts down before complete logoff. So I'm not sure if this is the same bug - I hope it is, because it occured in the same situation - right-click to open a pdf; but it's the first time everything stayed put long enough for the crash window to appear...

Cheers!
