Bug Description

When I installed a security update to the kernel, I got into a graphical login loop on reboot. After updating Nvidia drivers to 525, I can log in but xfwm4 crashed immediately. After removing ~/.cache/sessions/*, xfwm4 does not crash on login, but launching almost any app causes it to crash. A dice game called Tali does not cause a crash, but Terminal, Firefox, and Chromium do.

/var/log/syslog lists six segfaults, each like this, every time a crash occurs:
