** Description changed:

+ PROBLEM
+ =======
+ Starting a Qt app such as Skype crashes X, leaving
+ "Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting"
+ in Xorg.0.log.old and the dazzled user with the login screen.
+ This is a bug in X, fixed upstream in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=78f94f19aab66a1e5331df0ce29f36e310b4195d .
+ 
+ WORKAROUND
+ ==========
+ Until the fix is released as an official Ubuntu update, Jared Bunting has it in his PPA (thx!):
+ Download+Install xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common from
+ https://launchpad.net/~jared-bunting/+archive/xorg-xserver-650539/+sourcepub/1369363/+listing-archive-extra
+ 
+ For example, on 32 bit, download and
+ sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.9.0-0ubuntu7+bug650539+1_i386.deb xserver-common_1.9.0-0ubuntu7+bug650539+1_all.deb
+ 
+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
+ ====================
  I think this may be related to QT apps, as keepassx, skype also crash X when started
  This is on maverick will all current updates.
