I've found a way to "fix" the problem.  Here's the situation, with my attempt to
not ramble on:

Xfmedia uses xine-lib to play audio/video files.  xine-lib requires that apps
call XInitThreads() before using xine.  I have a GtkWidget, called XfmediaXine,
which wraps xine into a a gtk widget.  In xfmedia_xine_realize(), I call
XInitThreads() before creating a separate Display* to track xine events (this is
the way recommended by the xine developers to avoid locking problems between
xine and gdk).

Now, I removed the XInitThreads() call from xfmedia_xine_realize(), and moved it
to main(), right under g_thread_init(); gdk_threads_init(); gtk_init();.  Now I
get no crash, and everything *appears* to be behaving properly.

Any ideas what was up with this?  My previous method worked with gtk 2.2, 2.4,
and 2.6, and only started causing crashes using gtk 2.8.  Anyway, unless this
rings a bell to someone as a gtk/cairo problem that I somehow managed to
trigger, feel free to close this.
