I went to the Wikipedia page for 'PostgreSQL' and clicked on the link for the MP3 of the pronunciation. After playing the clip I hit 'b' to go back to the previous page and Uzbl crashed with the following error message:

The program 'uzbl' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 18900 error_code 3 request_code 10 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
This task depends upon

Updating flash to latest should help.

confirming this issue.
It happened for me while reading some WMV files with Mplayer plugin.
when I wanted to go back it crashed with the same error message.

So, is this a flash bug?

Well I had similar errors with older flash version, but after upgrading I've never seen the error again. It happened to all webkitgtk browsers I had tried (uzbl, epiphany, Midori). I haven't used the mplayer plugin so that couldn't have affected me.

Of course it could've been because I had manually symlinked the older flash .so to directories where Firefox and other browsers could find it. After removing those symlinks and upgrading to flash found on packet manager, the errors disappeared.

The errors I had were similar X errors (not sure if they were _exactly_ the same, but at least similar) when going back from a webpage with flash.
