Superswitcher segfaults by random

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using superswitcher..

I only get this into 'dmesg':
superswitcher[2244]: segfault at 30 ip 000000000040a1be sp 00007fff0b83b130
error 4 in superswitcher[400000+d000]

I'm also having this problem

I built superswitcher from source on Ubuntu Jaunty. Not random at all, it just 
won't run.

Full error output:

(superswitcher:8154): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_workspace_get_number: assertion
`WNCK_IS_WORKSPACE (space)' failed
Segmentation fault

It seems the project owner abandoned the project, but I'll try to fix this 
error in
the source code and make a 0.5 release with other fixes.

Hi, I'm the project owner.

> It seems the project owner abandoned the project

Yeah, I'm still alive, but I've been pretty busy with other stuff for a long 
time 
now. Sorry.

One thing re segfaults -- are you running metacity or compiz (or something even 
more 
exotic)? I've had many problems with compiz, in the past.

I can believe that it's broken on Jaunty (I'm still on Intrepid, having no 
compelling 
reason to upgrade). The libwnck library doesn't promise API compatability 
across 
releases, and they could easily have changed something that broke superswitcher.

Oh, patches welcome, by the way.

I used Fluxbox 1.1.1 , arch linux OS. 

pacman -Q | grep wnck
libwnck 2.26.1-1
