Bas Roufs, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS When editing a document in LibreOffice Writer, this package or the whole system suddenly crashes sometimes. I cannot reconstruct exactly under which circumstances this happens - it happens always in the middle of an intense working session. After the crash, the system automatically restarts. I have been experiencing this problem ever since the latest versions of OpenOffice before the transit to LibreOffice. Recently, I found at least an effective workaround - as explained here below. WORKAROUND The workaround I have found, consist of preventive and curative measures. WORKAROUND - PREVENTIVE MEASURES When editing the document, I save it after each phrase via the command CONTROL-S. Each +/- 5 minutes, I go back to the folder where the document is: via Dolphin. First I refresh the document list via F5. Than I copy the document into a backup-document under another name. WORKAROUND - CURATIVE MEASURES After coming in the system again after such a crash, I go back to the document in which I have been working just before the crash: via Dolphin. After clicking at the document, the LibreOffice document recovery dialogue starts. I choose the option "Open the read-only document". After opening this document, I save the same document under another name, after which I can continue the working session. By doing so, I manage to recover the document in 9 out of 10 cases. In about 1 out of 10 cases, I do NOT manage to recover the document. In such a case, I continue the working session in the lastest backup document. ANSWERS TO SOME OTHER RELEVANT QUESTIONS: Release of the OS I am using: Kubuntu 11.04. Version of the package I am using: LibreOffice 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1 What I expected to happen: being able to continue the working session without any unexpected and non-sollicitated interruption. What happened instead: suddenly LibreOffice crashed and the whole system restarted automatically, without me consciously provoking this course of events.
