Hi Greg,

It looks like you hit the bug whose complete backtrace is :

#0  0x006b3eb0 in __gmon_start__ () from /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1
No symbol table info available.
#1  0x00dc40d3 in _dbus_timeout_list_add_timeout (
    timeout_list=<value optimized out>, timeout=<value optimized out>)
    at dbus-timeout.c:319
No locals.
#2  0x00dae60e in protected_change_timeout (connection=0x863a980, 
    timeout=<value optimized out>, add_function=<value optimized out>, 
    remove_function=<value optimized out>, 
    toggle_function=<value optimized out>, enabled=<value optimized out>)
    at dbus-connection.c:788
        timeouts = 0x863a8f8
        retval = <value optimized out>


( A least the few times that we have been able to get the function #0 ).

This complete traceback (unlike your) can be find here : 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=565517 in attachment, and 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541740 in attachment a proof that in the xorg.conf that the reporter was using the Nvidia drivers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The likehood that you would be using the Nvidia propriatary drivers too is really high.
I am going to close this ticket for that reason. Please find below the explanation (if this your were not using the Nvidia proprietary drivers, please accept my sincere apologies, and feel free to reopen this ticket ... in normal times I would have asked you whih drivers you were using, but we are really overloaded with tickets, so I take my chance this time). Anyway, if your run the Nvidia proprietary drivers, I would be anyway happy that if you could confirm this too me, so that I will know for sure.

Regards.

    Thank you for the report. Fedora does not provide or support proprietary drivers like the "nvidia" video driver. 

    The open source "nouveau" driver is the recommended alternative. It is used by default in Fedora 11 and later if you remove any customizations that explicitly set the video driver. The older "nv" driver may be needed in some cases. It is also available in older Fedora releases. Install the packages xorg-x11-drv-nouveau or xorg-x11-drv-nv and override the X server's default choice if necessary. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault for more information. 

    For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides indirect customer support via an online web based support forum. Nvidia monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to Nvidia engineers for investigation. Once they've isolated a particular problem, it is often fixed in a future video driver update. 

    The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at: 
    http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 

    Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have experienced the particular problem may be able to assist. If there is a real bug occurring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they officially support. 

    While Fedora does not support the proprietary Nvidia driver, users requiring technical help may also find the various X.Org and Fedora mailing lists helpful in finding assistance: 

    X.Org mailing lists: 
    http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists 

    Fedora mailing lists: 
    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#ML 

    Setting status to "CANTFIX" (unsupported).
