I had a similar problem after upgrading from Xfree86 to Xorg. It went away after updating all configuration files (etc-update) and restarting the xfs and xdm.
xorg-x11-6.7.x is working ok, and after upgrade to 6.8.x me crashing too :( $ xnview -browser ** XnView v1.68.1 Copyright 1991-2004 Pierre-E Gougelet (Feb 17 2004/13:52:01) ** Version for Linux x86/Motif (All rights reserved) ** This is freeware software (for non commercial use) Type xnview -help, for more information Warning: Name: textDir Class: XmTextField Character '\57' not supported in font.

Tested various dependency versions - all work like a charm. Reopen if the problem still exists.
