Hi,
the line: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
indicates that your xorg.conf needs some modifications:
Comment out the following (like here):

# Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "stylus"
# Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
# # /dev/input/event
# # for USB
# Option "Type" "stylus"
# Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
# EndSection
#
# Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "eraser"
# Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
# # /dev/input/event
# # for USB
# Option "Type" "eraser"
# Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
# EndSection
#
# Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "cursor"
# Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
# # /dev/input/event
# # for USB
# Option "Type" "cursor"
# Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
# EndSection

and remove the references from the "Serverlayout" (like here)

Section "ServerLayout"
 Identifier "Default Layout"
 Screen "Default Screen"
 InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
 InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
# InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
# InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
# InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
 InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection

now restart your x-server and the line(s) with "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168" are gone

But it still doesn't help in my case because i still get:

arndt@ul610t22:~$ qdvdauthor
QComboBox::text: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
QComboBox::setCurrentItem: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and that's it.
