Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Whenever I try to start Unity, I get a large series of GTK warnings, and then it crashes.
Attached is the gdb backtrace.

Here's the terminal output:

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'unity' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 681 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

BTW mine crashes randomly. Sometimes gives me the same error as in the bug description, sometimes it launches and gets blank as shown on the screenshots and on the terminal shows the errors attached.

I know what the problem is, Unity was written to only allow newer gpus to work. My older radeon 9600 pro (r300) doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two. So I'm probably never going to be to use Unity.
This is kinda annoying, I understand Unity was designed for Netbooks and their GPUs, but it would be nice if other's were able to try the software as well.

unity now tells if you can't run it at startup and will logout you nicely
