Concerning the statement "The problem is very likely caused by a problem with the intel graphics driver.", I had a look at different setups and got the following results:
- Both Jaunty and Karmic, GM45 (the Lenovo T400 I am experiencing the problem on): crash as described
- Jaunty, proprietary ATI (HD3400) and proprietary NVIDIA: no problems of this kind (though I know nvidia has it's own driver framework)
- Jaunty, opensource ATI (Lenovo T60, x1400, xserver-xorg-video-ati): Often GlxBadDrawable errors, but once in a while the applications started without any subsequent crashing.
- Jaunty, older intel graphics (Intel GMA900): no problems of this kind

The crashing itself as described in the initial description only appeared using the intel driver on the GM45 chipset, therefore I suspect that the problem lies there. On the other hand the GlxBadDrawable error seems to be a more widespread problem, though I didn't have the chance to test the newest packages on the T60 system as I do not own the laptop.

I'll do some throughout testing according to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing as soon as I get home this evening.
