Confirmed that switching from a Xinerama based dual-head config to a TwinView based config (Nvidia 7800GTX with proprietary driver in both cases) stops the crash from happening. It's clearly something that disagrees with Xinerama, which unfortunately is the config used when the GUI admin tool "Screens and Graphics" is used to enable the second monitor.

If xrandr is supposedly the way to do this properly and non-proprietarily, shouldn't the "Screens and Graphics" tool be outputting that style of config where the driver supports it ?
