Will follow your suggestions, thanks! It would be great if this could be also looked at on Cairo side. The crash occurs on a number of common distributions which means that our application cannot be used on these. Telling users to "upgrade" is, as you are probably aware, not a popular suggestion (they'll just dump our application instead). > I'm shocked, X crashing... > > In the Xorg.0.log file there will a rudimentary backtrace (no symbols), > but at least it will indicate which part of the call chain needs > investigation (driver vs extension vs core).
