Compiz Backtrace

When using r300g gallium dri with radeon driver from the Xorg-Edgers PPA on Ubuntu Maverick, Compiz occasionally crashes when starting a few programs.

For example, when I start gnome-mplayer, compiz crashes the moment it starts. I've already confirmed that it's unrelated to mplayer itself. When mplayer is run from a terminal or with another frontend (smplayer) it seems to work fine. It's specifically something in the frontend gnome-mplayer that's triggering it.

I know that compiz has crashed several other times, but I've been unable to get reliable crashes like I have with gnome-mplayer. Also, gnome-mplayer has some transparency issues with the gtk-rgba in Maverick, but that might be unrelated.

I've attached a backtrace of compiz using gdb.

Changing the component to Mesa core because it's a bug in st/dri.

I've fixed a crash in st/dri. If you still experience any crashes, please reopen.
