Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hi!

I've just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic. Everything went fine, but some minutes
(sometimes around 10, sometimes around 5) after logging into X, it exits and
goes back to xdm without notice for no apparent reason.

At first I suspected gnome-power-daemon, so I switched to xfce's, but kept
happening. Then I removed both from the session start (I'm using xfce session
manager), but the same problem arised.

Surprisingly, it always happened when I was using vim inside a screen inside
an xfce4-terminal (my usual way of using it).

So I logged in and closed the terminal, and so far it seems to survive.

I'm filing the bug under xserver-org-video-intel but obviously I'm not sure it's
the culprit given the apparent relationship to vim, although I have not done
enough testing to be sure of that.

I do not have any strange vim plugins (or anything X related, for that matter),
and I was just editing a normal python script.

I'm going to try some more scenarios (vim outside screen, vim with a different
terminal emulator, terminal use without vim, etc.) and will be reporting back
with the results.

If there's any information you need, or anything you want me to try, I'd be glad
to.

Thanks a lot,
    Alberto
