[Tfug] thesaurus.com restarts xorg/gdm!

[JD Rogers]

So uh, my wife pointed firefox to thesaurus.com and got instantly
presented with gdm greeter! Bye bye unsaved work.

The worst thing is I'm not sure what is actually crashing, i.e. xorg,
gnome-session, etc. This is Ubuntu Lucid on my wife's laptop, and I
found that if I remove flashplugin, it doesn't crash. I'm not one to
expect flash to be stable, but a flashplugin crash should at most
crash the browser and not suddenly restart X resulting in my wife
loosing unsaved data in ooffice etc.

I'd love to file a bug report, so my question is, where do I look to
try to narrow down the possibilities. I see nothing interesting in
syslog, dmesg, xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errros and I can't think what
else to check.  Any ideas welcome!

Thanks,
JDR
