Probably not at all related to GTK. It might just be that some
applications expose problems in the XFree86 server used for your
graphics hardware.
Since I assume your machine is a laptop, I assume trying to replace the
graphics hardware with a chip of another brand/model is out of the
question. :-) That's what I would otherwise recommend to see if it has
any effect on the stability.
I'm afraid I can't help you further. You should probably report your
problems in the Red Hat bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/.


Good luck,
