Can you set LC_ALL=C to get the english version of "Speicherzugriffsfehler" and reopen? I have no idea what it could mean.

@Flameeyes:
This means "segmentation fault"

Okay that make sense.
Please post emerge info.
Then if you're using portage 2.1_pre3, try adding -g -ggdb to your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and splitdebug to your FEATURES, then

ulimit -c unlimited # enables the core files
xawtv # wait for crash

it should leave a "core" file, so now

gdb `which xawtv` --core core

and at the gdb prompt

bt full

and post the output.

Please try to get a backtrace and make sure you're using xext useflag if you plan to use xinerama.
