another gdb backtrace and got this
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffe59692b5d in FontFileListNextFontWithInfo ()

(gdb) backtrace full

Title:
Googleearth, K3b, Virtualbox all crash the X server when selecting
item from main window
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Upgrade to Quantal 12.10
after opening the main window in either Googleearth, K3b or Virtualbox, when
selecting any item inside main window the Xserver crashes to blackscreen and
sometimes to logon screen. Tried all nvidia drivers from 304 (stock) to current
313 from x-swat. other than that all other programs seem OK. Every thing was
fine in 12.04. Reinstalled the three culprits.
