I'm not sure that this is a problem with XBMC itself, but I can't reproduce it using any other program. If I launch xbmc (or xbmc-standalone) from a session within GNOME3, it will crash immediately approximately 90% of the time. However, using gdm to login to a session which automatically launches xbmc-standalone (Exec=xbmc-standalone), then XBMC works perfectly.
Most of the time, it segfaults in XUngrabPointer() from libX11.so.6 (see http://pastebin.com/b1xJgm6v), but occasionally it crashes by some other method (http://pastebin.com/fgR5cfQs). According to xdpyinfo, my display depth is 24-bit.
In order to reproduce, I simply need to attempt to launch XBMC from inside GNOME3. I am using 64-bit ArchLinux with an Intel Core i3 and using the xf86-video-intel driver. This happens both with xbmc 10.1-9 from Archlinux, and compiling the source available at http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/source/...0.1.tar.gz.
