I've seen the same thing and never really found a way to keep it from crashing. I think one of the problems is that although gxine is still distributed with Slackware, I believe its development stopped quite some time ago. So my solution has been to use eitherkaffeine, which is a good xine front end, or switch to Mplayer.

Oh! So it's a frontend problem? I''l switch to totem if there's no cure, but is there anything I can do, as I rather like gxine...
