Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

trying to load the game extreme tux racer, unity crashed.
After that I opened a console and tried to do "unity --reset".
It gave me the error of the title.
After I did /etc/init.d/gdm restart I was able to login again and everything appears to be ok.

Apport retracing service (apport) wrote on 2011-04-07: Possible regression detected

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #710876. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.
