I experienced a very similar bug in Inkscape and current xorg-server: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1081108

[Test Case] Steps to reproduce: step1: open Gimp in Ubuntu step2: create new image step3: choosing tool (e.g. pencil) step4: applying pencil to image step5: crash (login window appears) [Stable Fix] For now, simply revert the patches added in versions 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.2 and .3. [Regression Discussion] The 10.2 SRU was intended to fix a touchpad issue on certain macbooks. 10.3 attempted to fix a regression caused by 10.2, but caused this bug. Reverting these changes should bring us back to a less crashy xserver. This will regress the touchpad on macbooks, but the scope and severity of that bug are much less than the X server crashes being seen. Macbook users suffering from that issue have the option to run an earlier xserver version until a better tested fix becomes available. [Original Report] Here's the GIMP output: gimp: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
