this is what I did until now:
- I Downloaded Gnash-source 0.8.4, I compiled it, test it successfully.
- I get the latest sources from bazaar repository, but I was not able to compile it.
- I found some SWF files, from Internet, that does not work correctly,
( like the game "aqua energizer, in "
www.miniclip.com"). others worked
perfectly.
Is it possible, using the log output, to locate the source cpp file
that causes the bug. If not, what can I do to reproduce a bug and locate it's cause ?
(decompile the SWF or write my own action Script file ...)?

Yes, there has been an open bug about it for weeks:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24653
Although what's described in there isn't the same as the X-window crash,
when trying to debug it I get sometimes the behaviour described in the
bug, sometimes an X window fault.
The only website I can always reproduce it on is
http://www.tagesschau.de (but only when it has the little video widget
on the right). But many other sites cause a crash too. On leaving the
page when the SWF is running, any xulrunner browser crashes - for me
both Firefox and Epiphany.
I have tried various different things to fix it, but I've had no luck
whatsoever. All cases seem to be continuing brower-plugin communication
when the plugin no longer exists.
