Would be good if you could cherry-pick r986673, as that happened often to me 
in the last days. I hoped to yet find the real reason, but I've gone with the 
workaround for now.

And Milian's "multiple mainwindow" fix would also be a candidate, since 
without it, opening an additional window leads to a certain crash.
