Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Starting skype from the command-line causes Xorg to immediately crash & exit on this machine. In more detail, it seems like any GUI IO on the skype application is actually what causes the crash, as it is sometimes possible for gnome-session to start the app at login time, and the status bar icon shows the successful connection attempts; however moving the mouse pointer over that icon (this should generate a popup notification from the app) causes a crash after a small delay. When starting from the command-line the new window is focused, which seems to be enough to trigger the crash immediately. This is not skype-specific, I noticed similar behaviour from Opera (but have not experimented with reproducing this yet). apport didn't seem to record skype as a problem application, so I've attached a gdb session of Xorg. As you can see from the attached Xorg.conf, I have 4 monitors attached to two linked Radeon 4670 cards (linked with CrossFireX hardware option), using the radeon driver and ZaphodHeads to separate the two DVI ports per card, and Xinerama to assemble the desktop. I'm running a gnome session with XMonad as the window manager; this also happens when the default gnome-wm is used as the window manager.
