pcbnew crashes (seg fault) on Linux

[Luca Mini]

System: Linux Mint 18.0
Kicad nigtly build and github clone build (2017-03-23 revison e98ae3e)

pcbnew crashes with the following message on the command line:

The program 'pcbnew' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2277 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Segmentation fault

this is always replicable (project version and stand alone)

Hi Luca,

I have seen this message many times and always it was a fault of video
driver. Have you updated kernel recently? Does glxgears work correctly
on your system?
