I assume you were running xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-19 or so ? Could you try xserver-xorg-core currently in experimental (2:1.2.99.901-1) ?
Correct. I didn't know which package to assign the bug to. As to trying the experimental version, I'm not quite comfortable with that: this system is my main one, if it's rendered unusable I'm going to be /very/ upset.

It might be boring to do if the bug is not easy to reproduce. But, in case you want to try, you can rebuild with:
The bug is not easy to reproduce, and again, attaching gdb to the running X server waiting for the crash to happen is just a no-go, given that's my main system. I've got another bug I'm trying to pin down, this one being easier to reproduce: if I enable a screensaver in Gnome's Screensaver panel, most of time if I wander off long enough for the screensaver to start, when I come back, X has been killed and I'm back to GDM prompt. I'll see if I can force myself into doing that again to provide some info.
