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. When starting from the command-line the new window is focused, which seems to be enough to trigger the crash. 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.
