Looking at that strace and a bit of poking around on this box...

gnome-display-properties opens a socket and assigns it fd 3 for x.
It writes some data and RANDR to that socket. After another read on
that same socket, it drops core.

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing

These two cards are both used with Xinerama if that helps any.
