Hi,

I am using Lucid and I am still affected by that bug (or one that looks
really like the one of the original poster)

Using gimp  and trying any action with my mouse on the drawing surface cause
Xorg to segfault. (The only other apps I'm aware of that do crash xorg the same 
way is inkscape)

I'm also using a multi-seat configuration, but it does happen in the Xephyr
session as well as in the main xorg session.

What I found is that this bug is related to gimp + the evdev input driver of
xorg

My relevent section in xorg.conf is :
Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Right Mouse"
  Option "CorePointer"
  Driver "evdev"
  Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
EndSection

The bug does not occure if I'm using the default xorg input driver

My guess would be that gimp requests something related to a graphic tablet
and that is badly supported by the evedev input driver, but that just a
guess.

I haven't upgraded yet to Maverik so I cannot confirm if that occurs on
it as well
