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.
