Ok, so, here's where we're at : the problem seemed to go away after I
installed the updated libraries, but the other day when I put a video
into full screen in totem I experienced the crash again.

I tried my best to reproduce the crash today, but I couldn't and it
seems to be working fine now. I had done an apt-get update since having
experienced the last crash, during which these libraries were updated,
so perhaps this fixed everything.

I forgot to mention in my original bug report that I had a particular
video which after 30 seconds of playing triggered the crash, regardless
of any window superposition - this is also fixed.

BTW, thanks to Intel for open sourcing their drivers, their cards might
not be the fastest out there but they work very well for many uses and
their drivers seem really great (the problems I am experiencing are on
their very latest chips, for which the drivers are not yet stable).
Apparently they are currently helping to lead the way for all other xorg
drivers, helping to develop components that could eventually be used to
improve the development of all open source graphics drivers.
Unfortunately, for the time being, these Intel graphics chips are only
available on motherboards, not on PCIe/AGP/PCI boards... Of course they
also harm free software other ways, but credit where credit's due :)

All the best !
