Comment 52 for bug 1021517

Not sure if this information will help or not.
I was experiencing the issue with Gimp 2.6. In particular, it would happen when I moved a layer. I eventually subscribed to the GIMP PPA and upgraded to 2.8 and have been able to successfully edit images without the issue occurring.

However, now I have gone on to try and manipulate some images in Inkscape, and the same issue occurs. As soon as I attempt to move an object I have just pasted into the program (copying the image from Google Chrome, FWIW), XServer crashes. The backtrace and description of the issue being seen are the same as previous posts.

I'm running a Dell Latitude E6410, so GFX card is an Intel.
