Title:
Xorg crash on loading some child windows
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:

3) X not to crash... Not really sure what else to put. More details
below.
4) X crashed and returned me to the login screen.
More details on what happens:
It seems that loading child windows within certain applications causes Xorg
to crash out and return me to the login screen. Most apps seem fine, though.
I've been loading every app I have installed and opening as many windows I can
find, but very few seem to cause this.
How to reproduce:
Using VirtualBox. I've copied across some VirtualBox settings from my
previous installation and, upon loading VirtualBox on this new installation,
I'm given a dialog box which says that one or more of the virtual disks are
inaccessible. I'm given the option to "Ignore" or to "Check" and, upon clicking
"Check", a new window pops up for a fraction of a second before then X dies and
returns me to the login screen.
This may help: load VirtualBox, create a new system, close VirtualBox,
move the new system's files to where it can't find them then re-load
VirtualBox.
I did replicate the problem in another app earlier, but can't recall
which one... All I remember is that the app loaded fine, but clicking
a button to load a child window (a graph, I think), caused X to crash
and dump me at the login screen. I'll update the ticket if I find it
again.
Relevant and perhaps useful information about my system:
* Xubuntu 13.10 (fresh install on a new drive);
* Running an Nvidia GTX 670 with the proprietary NVidia drivers (v319.32),
installed via Ubuntu itself (not from NVidia's site);
* Dual monitor setup, using separate X servers (one for each monitor).
Resolution is the same, but one is rotated 90 degrees.
Does this happen when using TwinView instead of two X servers? Yes.
Does this happen when not using any monitor rotation? Yes.
Have you found any video configuration where this *doesn't* happen? No.
The GDB backtrace should be attached to this report.
Please let me know if there's more information required or if you have
an questions.
