Its hard to explain without showing it (video? how can I do it?) I am now in a Windows machine, but I believe I experience same behaviours on linux. If I press F11, X, and G even if the mouse is on a track it will not always start dragging. What happen is the screen get "light down" and nothing is selected, I have to Esc, and X again and press somewhere.. etc and try again X.. G.. etc
For design the pcb board, I was using mostly the default mode and then only switch to openGL to do some specific push&shove situation or adding vias, because for me it is hard to use it for regular track edition.

FYI: currently 'X' activates the routing mode, and 'G' drags tracks/vias (when in routing mode). It would be also very helpful if you could present steps to crash pcbnew, so we could fix it.
