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.
