Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
I have mail-notification installed and set to display a popup-message
whenever a new mail arrives. mail-notification is configured to
automatically start on login. It's configured to check evolution mail
boxes for new mail.
When I login, mail-notification is blinking in the notification area
because it cannot connect to evolution because it is not started yet.
Now I start evolution and i have like 20 new mails. I see that mail-
notification starts to display popup-messages but before it can draw all
the popups the xserver crashes.
After logging in again, I can reproduce the behaviour. If I go to the
properties page of mail-notification before starting evolution and turn
off "enable message popups", xorg does NOT crash when eventually
starting evolution.
This happened on feisty herd 2 with xorg release 7.1.1 with builtin mga
driver (matrox g550) using a xinerama setup.

I'd like to help you to find the bug, so if you need more info or want
me to debug with gdb, please tell me. Unfortunately, I could not find a
xorg-package with debug symbols turned on so that the above backtrace is
not as detailed as it possibly could be.
