Lucid - no bug
Maverick - upgrade from Lucid - bug

Both of these machines use the nvidia driver.

The reproduction, at least for me, is quite simple; open qtconfig-qt4
and try to change a dropdown, like GUI Style. Open VLC, and almost any
activity that involves input widgets will cause the session to terminate
immediately. I tried creating a new user and reproduced the issue in the
same manner, using qtconfig, so I don't believe it to be related to some
stale/corrupt config.

I have seen various posts in various places that suggest
xinerama/twinview to be the problem. I also note that despite the fact
that I have the same failed assertion, and almost everything noted in
#23, this issue appears as though it may have been hijacked.

Can any of you that have reported GDM session termination please try the
qtconfig reproduction? If that does indeed reliably reproduce this issue
does anyone have an idea how to proceed?
