Bug#655991: xorg: X sometimes crashes when opening web pages in FF 9

[garkein@mailueberfall.de]

Hello,
the crash still happens occasionally, also with the current unstable 
intel driver and xorg.
By coincidence I just found a way to reproduce the crash:

open www.lego.de in FF10, with noscript enabled, then
allowing noscript to load scripts etc. for that domain and
then it looks as if some flash is loaded... and BOOM. X dies.

Now I wanted to write a core dump of it, but I was not successful with
that. The below mentioned tweak for gdm3 indeed doesn't work anymore,
so I tried to start X with "startx", and to add the -core option.

It runs, and crashes, but still no core dump, neither at my home dir,
nor /etc/X11.

Any clue how I get a core dump?

I started X with "startx -- -core"
