Thank you for this solution because finally i can open all my application without crashing XORG.

Solution to this problem seems to be very simple which i found after struggling with the problem for a year.

This is on the assumption that all of you have used the nvidia-settings utility to generate your xorg.conf file.

Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and comment out or delete the below shown lines

Section "Files"
 FontPath "unix/:7100"
 EndSection

Save the file and restart GDM or lightDM which ever is your login manager using

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

or /etc/init.d/lightdm restart

Now all of the QT applications like virtualbox and skype should not crash X
