Details:

Hi,
What happens: with the latest gnustep svn, when I start any example program,
say Calculator.app, my xserver crashes. Tested with the xorg in ubuntu gutsy,
and latest one in debian unstable (crashes on both.)

I posted this as a bug to the xorg bug tracker at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13478 (contains the xorg
backtraces) because it seems like an Xorg bug (it only happens with one video
card, the intel 82815. no problems with an ati card). However, it also only
happens with gnustep (gtk is fine), and only with the cairo backend (art
backend works fine), and only when XAA is on.

The little calculator icon button appears in the lower left corner of my
screen, and is actually drawn properly, before the crash.
Also, I'm not sure how to debug this. I found instructions to get a backtrace
of Xorg, but I don't know how to get one for Calculator.app since it may not
be crashing.

Thanks for any help
Eric
