I have a dual screen setup.
Installed ubuntu package, same deal.
Downloaded BF 2.42 and compiled. Same error.
Blender loads ok. Takes both screens as expected.
I open the "File|Open" dialog box.
As soon as I move the mouse around file entries, blender crashes
with "Segmentation fault".
My system:
Kubuntu Linux 6.10.
kernel: 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP
Arch: x86_64 GNU/Linux
Renderer: NVIDIA Corporation Quadro FX 4500/PCI/SSE2 2.1.0 NVIDIA 97.46
Python: 2.4

I suggest you read the FAQ on blender.org for getting linux/opengl tweaked OK.
This is definitely a driver/opengl error.

read the FAQ, nothing about my error, just some unrelated ATI error and fix (
as you see above my card is NVIDIA). All the other recommendations are in place.

BTW, also note that we can only support here releases from blender.org itself.
Nevertheless, this is a driver or opengl configuration issue. The only alternative is to dive into the code yourself to see what exactly the error is (make stacktraces in gdb) and check for workarounds in blender.
BTW; try it on a single screen setup, or with a smaller window (command line). There are really a lot of variations to try.

This is a generic request to test your bug report and see if it is still an issue in 2.5alpha2 if so please let me know by making a comment in this report ie 'also in 2.5alpha2' and I will add it to the 2.5 bug list.
