Xorg.log of the crashed session

Since a few days / weeks, the X server sometimes segfaults when opening context windows of panel applets (I'm running XFCE and e.g the context menu of xfce-power-manager triggered this twice for me, but also other panel applets did trigger it in the past).

The log contains

I already tried installing debuginfo packages, but this did not make the backtrace any more useful.

Is there a way to make the X server write a core dump instead of creating this useless backtrace?

Attached is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old of the last crash.

The machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad X200s with a rather oldish

I forgot: of course not every open of the context menu crashes the X server, it is a random crash appearing only sometimes, not reproducible :-(
