Public bug reported: Some combination of the latest versions of X, qt, and the spotify app make X crash on my machine every single time.
I login, start spotify, and about 15 seconds later X dies, and I see something like this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old: [ 63960.882] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-A1E5704A3BB8F17A7D531B3608E3CD775FB15673.xkm [ 63996.035] Backtrace: [ 63996.035] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x80f0feb] [ 63996.035] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x5df48) [0x80a5f48] [ 63996.035] 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0xb777040c] [ 63996.035] 3: /usr/bin/X (ProcessWorkQueue+0x30) [0x8079920] [ 63996.035] 4: /usr/bin/X (WaitForSomething+0x60) [0x80a52b0] [ 63996.035] 5: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x2885e) [0x807085e] [ 63996.035] 6: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x1a81c) [0x806281c] [ 63996.035] 7: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xe7) [0xb7479e37] [ 63996.035] 8: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x1a411) [0x8062411] [ 63996.035] Segmentation fault at address (nil) [ 63996.035] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
