Just out of curiosity... do the people who have this problem have
crossover office installed? Just to see what the difference might be I
ran:
$ diff -r menus etc_xdg_menus/
Only in etc_xdg_menus/applications-merged: cxlegacy.menu
Only in menus: gnome-screensavers.menu
Only in etc_xdg_menus/kde-applications-merged: cxlegacy.menu
Only in menus/preferences-post-merged:
gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu
"menus" is from the clean FC5 install
and
"etc_xdg_menus" is a backup of the problem dir
It looks like the only differences appear to be in the inclusion of:
cxlegacy.menu
and
gnome-screensavers.menu
I would not expect the gnome stuff to be a problem as it is probably on
everybody's machine and more people would be complaining. But the cx
stuff may be unique...
Yes, I do run crossover. Here is a snippet from the diff:

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but the crossover entry that is now
gone is missing some of the tags in that "Screensavers" section that
replaces it -- namely <AppDir>, <Directory>, and <Include>. I'd bet one
or more of those nodes being missing is causing the crash.
