Note that when you tried to run it as root that message is normal unless you've set it up so that root can run X11 applications, which it won't be able to by default with a general user's XSession.
I've not built a full debug version of texmaker myself yet, but it looks very much like a QString is trying to be constructed from an invalid (const?) char* pointer somewhere. #0 0x00002adc6ba4db87 in QString::fromLocal8Bit ( str=0x10 <Address 0x10 out of bounds>, size=-1) at tools/qstring.cpp:3293 #1 0x00002adc6babd18b in QCoreApplication::arguments () at kernel/qcoreapplication.cpp:1621 #2 0x00002adc6b37e3ea in sm_performSaveYourself (smd=0x6d4aa0) at kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp:4711 Joseph have you forward this upstream or looked into it further yet?
