I can reproduce this issue on my Maverick system here as well, with one special point worth being mentioned:
this happens *only* if I manually configure "wish" to be provided by /usr/bin/wish8.5 instead of the default /usr/bin/wish8.4 using this command (and selecting the appropriate version): sudo update-alternatives --config wish gitk has to be restarted after switching wish of course... If I switch it back to the default, compiz doesn't crash on alt-tab anymore. I really hope this isn't one of the bugs where a solution is well known and available, but Ubuntu simply doesn't provide fixed packages. After all, Maverick is still in the middle of its regular support lifecycle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579112 Title: compiz crashes on alt-tab when gitk is running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/579112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
