Opera crashes gnome 3.2 desktop

While using an a fully updated gnome 3.2 desktop in Ubuntu 11.10, Opera will occasional crash the desktop on closing. The screen will flash and the desktop icons, Nautilus, will recover, but be in unskinned state. Turning off and then on desktop icons turns them back into the properly skinned versions.

The crash doesn't happen all the time, mostly it seems to be an issue when I browse for a long time or have lots of other programs running.

Opera almost always freezes up after very little use on Gnome desktop with Fedora 16, and my Windows 7 dual boot it does not do much better. Sometimes it won't reopen because it says there is another version after I force quit it. And sometimes when it reopens it will say the mail is in use and won't open that. I keep many of my config files in dropbox, by the way, so they are available to opera on another computer. However, I had no such problem in Fedora 15, albeit an older computer. The current computer is a Gateway using Pentium I5 processor with 4 gb RAM and 500 gb harddrive.

I have the same problem under the gnome-shell 3.2 in Ubuntu 11.10.
I also found Opera 11.50 runs slower than the older version. When I roller the page, it moves unsmooth compare with the 11.00

I also encounter this crash (since a few versions) on Ocelot.

I'm using :
Opera 11.60 beta b1173 (x86_64, 3.0.0-13-generic)

And there's nothing special in logs. « Just » several segfault, but the time doesn't seem to correspond to the time of gnome crash :

With OpenSuse, I also see the crash, but only when closing Opera, all the rest works.

and in 1778 as well. Try going to a heavy media site like mediamatters.com, click on MMtv and play a video then close Opera.

Ok, we understand what is going wrong now. We have a workaround we are considering that should prevent triggering a gnome-settings-daemon crash. Thanks to to Sid32 and others for the reports.

Looks like it was fixed in 11.60. Thanks for the hard work!
