I'm running
Arch Linux with 2.6.33-ARCH kernel
xorg-server 1.7.6-3
Nvidia driver 195.36.15-2

After logging into KDE/Xfce4/Gnome session and typing some text, after pressing [Enter] key Xorg crashes.
I have found out the way how to reproduce this bug:
Start any program and type "(" character, press Enter.

/var/log/kdm.log:

I had found out that my problem was caused by update of VirtualBox I did today. When the VB startup script is being run on system startup the bug starts to have an effect. Without it, everything works just fine.
