xmms crashes matrox x server

[Tom Marshall]

I am not sure this is the appropriate place to start asking about the
problem below, so please accept my apologies in advance if it is not and
kindly point me to a better forum.

I'm running breezy with a pretty generic x86 configuration.  Sometimes when
I start XMMS, the X server immediately crashes and goes back to GDM.  But
only sometimes.  Most of the time it works great.  This has been happening
for a long, long time (several years) through different versions of X and
XMMS (I used Debian prior to Ubuntuizing my machines) and many different
hardware configurations.  But it only seems to happen with Matrox video
cards.

Removing the ~/.xmms directory always solves the problem so it's been a
minor nuisance that is easy to work around.  This morning I got more
irritated than normal.  I copied the bad ~/.xmms directory before removing
it and compared it with a good one that was written from a fresh launch of
XMMS.  The only difference appears to be this:

Please let me know how I can work with the development team to get this
issue resolved.  Thanks!
