Yes, I do run crossover. Here is a snippet from the diff:

diff -cNr menus.old/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but the crossover entry that is now 
gone is missing some of the tags in that "Screensavers" section that 
replaces it -- namely <AppDir>, <Directory>, and <Include>. I'd bet one 
or more of those nodes being missing is causing the crash.
