Alright, I am now running 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel, but I still have the same issue. I think it's a scroll-bar that triggers it. If I drag a scrollbar down with my mouse and then run it back up, there is a delayed response (especially in Acrobat Reader), and when I do that in Mathematica 5.2, that simply crashes X. Now I am kind of regretting that I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6... I was very happy with 1.5 and before. Sigh. May this be a library issue? Gtk? I received some kind of an error from Gtk, if I recall, while using acroread, but acroread did not crash...
