What would this be caused by. I regularly get this kind of issues in every corner of the screen.

We will either find a way, or make one.

Re: X problems?
Well today it got worse. Had it not been for openbox I would not even be able to post this.

Re: X problems?
ewww....segfaults suck. the problem can be a faulty RAM module (but don't panic, that's just in 0.1% of the cases I guess), or it's a bug in the application, because a segmentation fault means that the application tries to access a memory address it is not allowed to.
tracing such errors is no picknick, but you can try if gdb (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) gives some useful information, you simply have to run the application through gdb, like gdb lxpanel. gdb should be available in the repositiories for most distros, so you most likely can install it as package.
have you checked the developer site for known bugs already?

Re: X problems?
Thanks for the suggestion but I have given up on this linux distro. It is too buggy for me to use.
