That is due to a probable bug of Xorg-Intel driver with cairo. Boxes
with intel graphics cards and cairo port updated will have X11 troubles
as soon as you start an application which has GTK+ dependencies. Xorg
shutsdown with "fatal error". Xorg logs will not reveal anything excpet
that inter driver is broken.

Rebuilding all cairo and GTK depended ports do not solve the problem
but xorg will say error 0x10 and logs will not say nothing more than
that.

If you downgrade "cairo port" it will be ok. If you update ports tree
with csup try portdowngrade. If not try to get the old version of ciaro
port as package, remove the new one and install the old one, then do
nnot upgrade the cairo port. That will keep things working untill a bug
fix is available.

I hope that helps.
