Yesterday I did a emerge -u world to update what I haven't updated in a week or two, including a r3 of nvidia-glx, r2 of xorg-x11, opengl-update then etc-update, keeping my working xorg.conf the way it should be. I reboot, go to gdm, to my desktop and the problems begin. Crash. While at the console, I update the kernel from 2.6.7-r9 to r11. I also go back to xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1(which was working), but the problems still go on. I'm managing to write this bug with firefox and play some songs in xmms carelessy w/o doing the stuff that will crash X(like alt-tabbing instead of clicking the taskbar to alternate the apps). I don't know what got broken during the last emerge and etc-update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. StartX 2. Click anywhere in gnome-panel or open the "add dir" window in xmms or move a file within Gnome(so a dialog window opens) or sometimes just close a window(Be Alt-F4, clicking in the x, etc) Actual Results: X crashes, going to the console and produces a: (...) "Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting" (...) (...) being the normal stuff it does when it loads X and the "Please see url etc, and Xorg.0.log. Expected Results: Continue with its events and actions normally Portage 2.0.50-r9 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.4.20040619-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled]ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acl aim alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dga directfb divx4linux doc dvd dvdr encode esd fbcon foomaticdb gdbm ggi gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icq imlib ipv6 java joystick jpeg ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg msn mysql ncurses nls nptl oggvorbid oggvorbis opengl oss pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl slang slp spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb wmf wxwindows x86 xml xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid zlib"

Im still not quite sure when X crashes... Could you please provide some more examples of what actions can cause the crash. Also look in /var/log/emerge.log and see if anything else was updated in relation to X / Gnome. Does this happen outside of Gnome (some other window manager) or is it specific to Gnome?
What causes crashing: -in gdm, clicking in any of the buttons that usually leads you to the language, session and the shutdown/reboot menus. -when x/gnome loads with apps that you didn't close in the last session, like x-chat, if don't wait until the desktop is fully loaded, and you close x-chat as as soon as it loaded, it will crash. -In firefox, while browsing gmail, when a new mail arrives, it will pop up a javascript dialog window. Crash... And I didn't even click anything. I tried with two other WMs, fluxbox and windowmaker: -In both of them, while in firefox, if any event makes a popup window show up, it will crash X. I can't even go back to Gnome because there are so many unsaved open apps(3 x-chats, gnome-terminal, nautilus and gedit) that it will crash while it loads everything. I'm currently running Fluxbox. Also, I emerged gnome 2.6.2(ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86") and the other 58 dependencies of it, and I'm still getting the same problems. I don't know if this is related but I tried to 'emerge selectwm' to help me switching the WMs, but: !!! ERROR: x11-wm/selectwm-0.4 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 25, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) Same with 'emerge icewm': !!! ERROR: x11-wm/icewm-1.2.13 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 74, Exitcode 2 !!! emake failed Dunno if it will help. Now about the emerges, last emerges before the problem, related to X, media and compiling: linux26-headers-2.6.7-r3 libpng-1.2.5-r7 fontconfig-2.2.2 opengl-update-1.8.1 xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2(then I went back to r1, but still with the same problems) xterm-192 nvidia-glx-1.0.6106-r3 Thats it.

Note about th windows that pop-up and etc: I only get to see the body of the window/dialog window, with no content at all in it. Half a second(pretty fast but the eye still catches it) after that frame of window show up, X crashes, always with the same error.
does this crash also happen when using the 'nv' driver?
Please don't comment on a year old bug, it's been fixed ages ago, and I don't even remember how I did it(probably a complete reinstall).
