Changing the severity to "blocker" as this problem crashes the whole system.

Probably fixing #266 will also fix this problem, as crash is both times in WindowLaxer::Frontmost()

Ok, some more information, to speed up this crash press Be Menu-Preferences Select all prefs and start them at once, while they loading switch workspaces (alt+f1, alt+f2) and press team window to select them (as described in #757)

I tried a number of times, but I can't reproduce it over here using the technique that triggered bug #757. Are you doing anything differently here?

It seems that now you have to open more apps to crash app_server. Try opening /boot/beos/apps at once and while they are loading start to switch workspaces and clicking team menu.

I have been working on this bug by changing the locking a bit in app_server. The weird thing is that this crashing bug does not happen in the test_environment. Try running all sorts of apps, including stress_test which opens windows like crazy and then switching workspaces works fine. At least after I fixed a couple of deadlocks which were more easily provoked with my locking changes. When I try this on Haiku though, most apps will hang and not open any window anymore, so I must have messed something up. I will try again with the recent fixes to the kernel and post my results here.
