X crashes when using some applications

First, I realised the problem with Gnome System Monitor... 10-15 seconds after starting it, my X crashes and gives me back the login manager.
The same problem appeared when I was trying the new KDE 4.2... ~1min after login it crashed.

Now I installed Gnome Do 0.8.1 and X always crashes when I click on the triangle in the upper-right corner of it.

I have no clue what to do, but I guess it can be connected with my graphic card (Nvidia 8400M on Dell Vostro 1510), using nvidia-180.29-3 drivers from extra repo...

here's xorg.conf too:

Can I somehow fix this problem?
