That helps!

Sorry, I was not too precise...
 
First, deleting ~/.rviz is sufficient.
 
Second, it is not a real crash, rather it receives an X error message:
 
wi at sonny:~$ rosrun rviz rviz

[ INFO] [1276850796.066305053]: Loading general config from [/home/wi/.rviz/config] 
[ INFO] [1276850796.067124989]: Loading display config from [/home/wi/.rviz/display_config] 

The program 'rviz' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 22 error_code 9 request_code 136 minor_code 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) 

Best,

Georg

	1. Unfortunately in most of the tries, I cannot add any displays (e.g Point clouds) via the user interface, the selection box for selecting the display type is simply empty. I could not yet figure out when and why the box will be empty or not.
	

What happens if you go to the Plugins menu, and load the builtin plugin?
 

		 
	2. after quitting rviz via the menu or ctrl-C it will crash on the next start until I delete the ~/.rviz AND */.ros directories.
	

Can you get a stack trace?
