The problem has worsened... I had to completey reinstall my system because I had to change the harddrive. The bug still persists (i.e. it is reproducible on this system), but not only regarding fullscreen mode, as I had previously thought. The X server now also crashes when the mozilla-mplayer plugin starts to display a video within firefox (not in fullscreen mode). Btw, starting mplayer not as firefox plugin shows expected behaviour.
After such a crash the syslog has the following entry (German locale): gdm[4134] WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Schwerwiegender X-Fehler - :0 wird nun gestartet." (meaning: serious X error - :0 will now be startet) The problem is not related to gdm. I temporarily installed kdm and got the same result and a similar syslog entry: kdm[3457]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectantly. syslog also has the following entries after booting the system: Sep 5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed Sep 5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed Sep 5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4146]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed Sep 5 22:49:31 stefan2 gdm[4138]: WARNING: Server-Name »0« nicht gefunden. Standard-Server wird verwendet (the last message in German meaning: "WARNING: server name »0« not found. standard server will be used.) What does this last message mean ? I've always thought that "0" IS the standard server.
