WINE and screensaver crash Gnome

[ZaphodFJ]

Just did a rebuild of my PC (after a power-cut borked an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10).

I...

-Installed 10.04
-Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get my monitor working with 1024x768 (previously, only 800x600 and 640x480 were picked up). Everything appeared to work fine.
-Upgraded 10.04 to 10.10

And only after doing this, have I discovered that:

- Launching Wine crashes Gnome (I didn't try this under 10.04)
- The screensaver crashes Gnome (it was fine under 10.04)
- changing graphics display from 1024x768, at 70Hz crashes Gnome. (not attempted in 10.04)

In all cases, the 'crash' involves the display going weird - random sections appear enlarged, then Gnome restarts.

Any thoughts?

TIA.

Not properly solved, but fixed by reinstalling 10.04.

Plenty of other, unsolved, posts about this one. Seems to be an issue in 10.10 and/or Gnome that has been reported.
