I have the same on my Thinkpad W510 (Nvidia Quadro FX 880M) on Xubuntu 12.10, using the xorg-edgers PPA, which brings in Linux 3.7.0.7-generic. I installed nvidia-325 via synaptic. I get this in /var/log/syslog after two crashes:

Does xpm suggest it's some sort of image or icon loading problem?

Note that hitting the close button doesn't cause a crash, just hitting the Quit button. Other than the crash, both do the same thing.

Oops, never mind. I get the same crash whether I hit Quit or simply close the window. Seems apport stopped bothering to report the crashes after the first few times. Running nvidia-setttings from the command line gives this on exit:

Still seeing this in nvidia-settings version 331.20 from the xorg-edgers PPA on Xubuntu 12.10. I updated the title to make it less version specific.
