I believe I have the same bug. I have a fresh install of lubuntu 10.10 on an ancient Pentium II PC with an old Diamond Stealth III s540 graphics card. I am seeing symptoms similar to #5 above.

Glxgears crashes to the login screen after displaying an empty window frame. I also believe this is the cause of several programs crashing XWindows session to crash the login screen in this version of lubuntu: any XScreenSaver. any Wine program after displaying a empty window frame. any attempt to use Power modes other than shutdown or reboot. Otherwise, lubuntu seems quite reasonable and responsive on this machine and once some bugs are cleaned up, should work quite nicely.
