Hi Sarah, I do not know if it is related but I have a XRequest.153 on my Stage installation. I got it after updating the Hardware drivers of the Nvidia version 185 of my Karmic laptop because before it was just a horrible "Segmentation fault". Perhaps would help if you update the Nvidia drivers too. Good luck, Renato.
