This looks like bug 179865 (or 184602), but here w is 0x0. Thanks
i'd bet it is. first because dario is seldom wrong on this and second because i looked into the code and the whole effect isn't robust against loosing windows while being active at all. :-( *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179865 ***
