Public bug reported:
I am running gnome-session-flashback with metacity as window manager,
and I have a three screen desktop driven by an Nvidia GPU.
Sporadic, when I close a window (can be any application gvim, chrome,
claws-mail, gedit, etc.) the whole X11 server goes down instant and I am
eventually back at the login UI. Extremely counter productive.
If I revert metacity and metacity-common packages back to version
3.18.3-1ubuntu2, the behavior goes away.
Only change up to latest version 3.18.3-1ubuntu3 is
* Backport upstream change (add_window_back_to_compositor.diff) to fix
windows getting hidden sometimes (LP: #1538111).
Which sounds a bit related IMHO.
I have not looked at the actual source code, both downloading the Ubuntu
DEB package of version 3.18.3-1ubuntu2, or building it myself from
sources works around the problem for me.
