[Bug 246942] Re: Firefox crashed randomly and taking X windows sever into console mode.. not responing. After a while using Firefox , it gets unresponsive very well and then a "quick" action caused everything fall apart.

I've had this occur at least 4 times over the last month. Twice it lead
to the loss of work in progress.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 fully updated. It has always occurred with Firefox
(last with 3.0.3) when I quickly click on the minimize button (every
time however I knew I was making a bad click, e.g., on the edge of the
minimize box or making a right click by mistake... that may be
important). I don't know if the problem is limited to Firefox though. I
use it the most so it could just be a selection effect. I cannot
reproduce the crash when X restarts so maybe Firefox has to have been
running for a while first?

Here's the relevant line from my /var/log/syslog:
Oct 24 13:48:38 aries gdm[6398]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 

I'm not too experienced debugging issues like this, so if somebody in
the know gives a list of things to put here the next time I experience
the crash, I can help you debug this.
