[Bug 497836] [NEW] Freezing the entire desktop

[moma]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: filezilla

Hello,

I discovered a bug in the Filezilla ftp client that can freeze the entire GNOME-desktop.
1) I login to my site with the Filezilla ftp client.

2) I start a file transfer, but because the server is slow to responds I have time to wait. 
While waiting, I use the mouse to adjust the pane dividers. I keep doing this.

3) Finally the server responds and Filezilla shows a file transfer
dialog. This dialog appears on top while I still keep resizing the panes
(moving the pane dividers).

4) The desktop stops responding.
I need to presss CNTR + ALT + F1 and login to a text  console. Then sudo reboot.
Not sure, but "sudo init 1"maybe a quicker way to reboot the desktop.

This error is easily reproducible.

This video clip will demonstrate the error:

Merry christmas.
