** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
  
  Ubuntu version is Hardy AMD64.
  This is a very strange bug, but very annoying. In an intensive use of Firefox 
3 on Flash sites (when Flash is only for ads too) and many opened tabs, X 
server crashes when closing a Firefox tab by middle mouse button.
  Crash is unrecoverable: display goes in text mode and shows latest started 
deamons and an unmovable graphical mouse cursor (!!!), gdm doesn't restart. The 
only way to interact with the system is to open a text console with ALT+CTRL+Fx 
or restart the system by CTRL+ALT+DEL. Mouse cursor is shown in usplash 
shutdown procedure too.
  This is the ending part of Xorg.0.log:

  Fatal server error:

  I've been able to reproduce the bug a couple of times, but only with Compiz 
enabled.
  To try to reproduce the bug open Firefox and go to www.hwupgrade.it (this 
site has three or so Flash ads). Click many times (about twenty) on upper left 
Home link with middle button (you must open the same home page many times). Let 
it load for about four seconds.
  Now click quickly on the left tab with middle button, closing all opened tabs.
  In a normal use, bug appears only after an intensive use of Flash enabled 
sites, particularly if you need to open many tabs with some Flash ads in each 
page (eg image gallery hostings).
  
  I'm using ATI driver shipping in Hardy (8.47.3).
  I think it could be related to nspluginwrapper too.
