Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Lots of discussion over at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965695 But the gist of it is, x11vnc is able to segfault xorg. Quite simple to reproduce. Find a "victim" machine and boot it up to the gdm login prompt. Then ssh into the machine and run: # DISPLAY=:0 x11vnc (notice logged in as root) and then connect with a vnc client. Try to log in and very quickly the vnc connection will be closed and when you reconnect you will be at a new login prompt. That's because the last X11 server crashed. Check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old on the victim machine. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 20 17:09:35 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 MachineType: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
