Do you have a bug open about this yet?

Try following the above instructions; and run "t a a bt" in gdb when you
hit the breakpoint in gdk_x_error (short for "thread apply all
backtrace").  Attach the result to the bug.  More info on doing this can
be seen at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#gdb

I've seen a few such errors, and at least one of these turned out to be
fallout from the change to client-side windows in gtk-2.18:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-migrating-ClientSideWindows.html

See e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543278 (istanbul)
and possibly: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540810 (virt-manager)
and maybe: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546159 (ibus).

A good backtrace in bugzilla is the best way to track this down, I
think.

Hope this is helpful
Dave
