Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

Is there any chance that you remember what you did? Possible would be workspaceview, windowoverview and workspace switching.

Workspace switching - I seem to remember that I clicked on a program in the
dock that was running on another workspace and gala crashed during the
switch. This has happened before on numerous occasions.
