Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I have mail-notification installed and set to display a popup-message whenever a new mail arrives. mail-notification is configured to automatically start on login. It's configured to check evolution mail boxes for new mail.
When I login, mail-notification is blinking in the notification area because it cannot connect to evolution because it is not started yet. Now I start evolution and i have like 20 new mails. I see that mail-notification starts to display popup-messages but before it can draw all the popups the xserver crashes.
After logging in again, I can reproduce the behaviour. If I go to the properties page of mail-notification before starting evolution and turn off "enable message popups", xorg does NOT crash when eventually starting evolution.
This happened on feisty herd 2 with xorg release 7.1.1 with builtin mga driver (matrox g550) using a xinerama setup.

I'd like to help you to find the bug, so if you need more info or want me to debug with gdb, please tell me. Unfortunately, I could not find a xorg-package with debug symbols turned on so that the above backtrace is not as detailed as it possibly could be.

Hi again,
A nice person in the ubuntu chats pointed me to a ddeb so I could debug with gdb. Here is the backtrace:
