Okay, so I did some testing, and it looks like one of the updates in the past few days fixed the X crashing. Also, I did not experience any crashing or hanging anymore after testing some native Linux 3D applications.
What however remains is wine failing on any attempt to run a non-native 3D application, with the following scenarios (in order of probabiltiy):
1) Immediate GLXBadDrawable, wine exits
2) The usual sequence of "WINED3DFMT_A8R8G8B8" and similar error messages (as above) followed by a GLXBadDrawable + exit.
3) The usual "WINED3DFMT_A8R8G8B8" plus wine displaying an empty window frame, the should-be 3D content missing, manual CTRL+C to exit.

I also installed a separate karmic with the Xorg edgers PPA for testing, there X actually crashes like before.

Now, out of the blue (I have no experience in graphics related stuff), isn't it that some color format is simply not implemented in the driver (at least concerning the "WINED3DFMT_A8R8G8B8" errors)?
And concerning the GLXBadDrawable which are observable also with xserver-xorg-video-ati and possibly other drivers, is there any way to get additional debug information?
