First crash event : Xorg log file

Second crash event Xorg log file

My 'dmesg' output after the X crash and subsequent Xorg restart.

PS: THIS BUG REPORT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 'YELP', IT WAS A MISTAKE TO LUNCH THE BUG REPORT FROM THAT APPLICATION.

Ok, I am now able to exactly reproduce the crash.

Here are the steps to follow:

1) Start up ubuntu 8.04.1 in my laptop
2) open Nautilus file manager
3) navigate until I reach a .tex file
4) right click -> Open with --> Open with Kile
5) put Kile in icon mode
6) navigate with nautilus until I find another .tex file IN A DIFFERENT FOLDER
7) right click --> Open with --> Open with Kile
8) ----> Xorg Crash!!!

BEWARE:
- The crash does not happen with compiz effects down, and I happens if I start them, even in minimal "nomal" mode.
- To reproduce the crash you can used a couple of custom .tex files, like the two I attached above, but THEY MUST BE IN DIFFERENT FOLDERS.

I have just found out that the backtrace in the above attached Xorg log files is very similar to the one
reported for for the following bug:

the only difference is that I can exactly reproduce my bug

Thanks for spotting that - yes, they do look related.
