it is critical in the sense that something in OOo makes X crash, which
is not really something I expect. I can reproduce this problem each time
I do the steps described here.

I have a:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD
4550]

with the opensource driver. I can check with one of my coworker with an
intel if this is reproducible on his workstation.

Well, this might make little sense and I'm not an export debian user so
please forgive me if this is the source of the problem.
My box was in testing while squeeze was still unreleased, then when it
got released I had a partial upgrade to wheezy and since it broke a
couple of things I got back to stable (to the best of my knowledge).

Since this box is quite recent hardware though, I need to be able to
pick some recent kernels from experimental and I also need iceweasel
from unstable due to some feature I need.

I can do any tweaks you'd like me to, except re-installing the box
itself as my boss wouldn't exactly like it.
