Well… Switching to another window manager doesn't solve the “any 3D/GLX app would crash” issue…
In my case I would have preferred to use the nouveau driver from the beginning, except that for ancient cards like the 6150SE it makes the whole system freeze after only a few minutes… Finally, I was so p*ssed off about this bug and the fact that I have to tune this or that after some security update, that I looked back into this nouveau driver bug for 2 days and finally found a way to use it without patching/installing anything or totally disabling all graphic accelerations. (options nouveau config="PMPEG=0" => works for me/my card) So now that I have returned to The open and happy world and am not concerned with this bug anymore.
