Also:

We have indentified the "Drop to desktop" crash as being possibly related to some 3rd party audio codecs. To further isolate these, we have included an output file called filtergraph.txt which will be created in the "saved" directory. If you experience a crash, it will be very helpful if you can include the contents of this file in your bug report.

As things stand we believe that there may be conflicts caused by the following codecs:

Morgan Stream Switcher
TFM Audio Filter
Intervideo Audio Decoder
DivXG400
Our advice is to try uninstalling these codecs if you are experiencing an apparently random drop to desktop. However, until we have gathered more data, we cannot guarantee this as a fix.
