Hi Dmitry,
I tried your test case on #805303, it's very effective.
Is it right for a bad app to crash
1. the window manager
2. the x server
3. the entire machine in a horrible way
Certainly the fault is caused by a QT theme but compiz and/or xorg-
server are not handling the error correctly.
Metacity doesn't crash when running test_v2.py with the GTK theme set.
However it still makes a weird window and causes xorg-xserver to
allocate 1gb of memory.
Perhaps there's a fairly simple way for the window manager and/or xorg-
server to limit outrageous resource requests. But on the other hand,
perhaps there is no way to differentiate between a faulty app and one
with demanding resource requirements.
