Bug Unity crashes when switching between workspaces in XFCE

    I know XFCE is not the target environment, but this crash is never caught by the crash reporter so I figured I would post it here on the forum.

    Consistently if I switch to a different workspace and back to the one where Unity is running, it crashes and for some reason the crash report never comes up in this case. In the console from where I started Unity it simply says "Aborted".

    However, if the Unity editor window does not have focus on its workspace, if another window is on top in that workspace, say MonoDevelop, it doesn't crash when switching back.
