[gentoo-user] Xorg-server crashing constantly

[gentoo-user] Xorg-server crashing constantly

[Joseph]

I'm running xorg-server-1.13.4-r1 and XFCE using slim as login
Whenever I start tree applications like: two Firefox and try to open Thunderbird 
or Thunderbird + Firefox and try to open another instance of Firefox xorg-server is crashing and logging me out.

What I mean to say I can start any two of them but not the third one.

xorg-log is not showing anything.  It has been happening on my other machines as well.

Have you tried starting XFCE without SLiM? What about looking at the log
files? If so you should show us everything that you looked at. We can't
give you a good answer without seeing something.

I switched to xdm and I'm getting some kind of error when xorg-server crashes:

GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid()

I can not capture the error as X crashes so I can not copy the content of the screen.

and "dmesg" shows:

[29776.366067] xfce4-session[6723]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007fdf8fc3ff51 sp 00007fff0e9ad820 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7fdf8fbd8000+12e000]

SOLVED.
It is a problem with stable: xfce4-session-4.10.0-r1
switching to unstable: xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.1
solved the problem.
