I have made some investigations, and I have almost found the bug. * The X server has chosen a format with 24 bit depth and 24 bits_per_pixel, which seems pretty unusual.
(source is qt/src/gui/image/qnativeimage.cpp) * QNativeImage::format() returns either 16 or 32 bits, but never 24! -> This is the cause of the garbage in the display. * QNativeImage::QNativeImage is called with the 32bit format, and allocates a Ximage (using XShmCreateImage) of the default (-> 24). * Result : QImage thinks we've 4 bytes per pixel, XImage 3 bytes per pixel and this is the source of the segfault. I have tried hacking QNativeImage::format() to return QImage::Format_RGB888, there is no more segfault, but the red and blue channels are inverted.
