[Bug 657963] [NEW] skype (and others) cause complete crash of xorg on startup/IO activity
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Starting skype from the command-line causes Xorg to immediately crash &
exit on this machine. In more detail, it seems like any GUI IO on the
skype application is actually what causes the crash, as it is sometimes
possible for gnome-session to start the app at login time, and the
status bar icon shows the successful connection attempts; however moving
the mouse pointer over that icon (this should generate a popup
notification from the app) causes a crash.
When starting from the command-line the new window is focused, which
seems to be enough to trigger the crash.
This is not skype-specific, I noticed similar behaviour from Opera (but
have not experimented with reproducing this yet).
apport didn't seem to record skype as a problem application, so I've
attached a gdb session of Xorg.
