  I'm seeing the same problem as Jérôme and Mauro [from bug 650539]. I
  have exactly one NVIDIA display adapter, using the proprietary driver
  (version 173 and "current" both exhibit the problem), and the adapter
  is attached to exactly one monitor. Emacs, rxvt, VLC, and xawtv each
  crash the server. Here is the Xorg output:

    Backtrace:

    Segmentation fault at address (nil)

    Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting

  I ran through half of the demos in the "qtdemo" package and none
  crashed the server. (I don't have all the KDE infrastructure
  installed, so I didn't test that.) So it does not seem to be related
  to bug 650539.  The server does *not* crash when using the free-
  software NVIDIA driver.

  I have not been able to disable the Xinerama extension either by
  putting 'Option "Xinerama" "0"' in the "ServerLayout" sections, or by
  using the "-xinerama" command-line argument to /usr/bin/Xorg. I've
  read that the NVIDIA driver forces it on or something.

  Also, "ubuntu-bug" accused my of installing NVIDIA drivers manually
  from nvidia.com.  I did not.
