This is an odd crash. When the launcher loads, it crashes. If I delete the launcher.jar and launcher.pack.lzma files, it opens fine, but then crashes again the next time. If it happened once, I'd assume corruption, but it's happening every time. I have uploaded these files to compare against correct versions.
EDIT: A video of the event is here: http://youtu.be/sIDhLISWGkw
As you can see, it happens every single time

@@unknown: I'm not even sure the launcher gives a crash report for itself. If it does, it is either where he said with a typical file-name or just a .txt file with a weird file-name floating around in .minecraft or even the launcher.jar/launcher.pack.lzma files themselves.
The video can be viewed at http://youtu.be/sIDhLISWGkw
@unknown: From the video it seems that you are playing on 1.7.10. Could you try testing this in 1.8/1.8.1-pre4 and see if it still occurs? (Not sure how much difference it will make though)
If I update the timestamp on launcher.jar (make a backup, and copy from backup each time), the launcher works correctly.
Yes, the crash still occurs on 1.8.

The program 'java' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
(Details: serial 593 error_code 143 request_code 139 minor_code 7)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
As a temporary solution, I changed my shortcut to run "rm ~/.minecraft/launcher.jar ~/.minecraft/launcher.pack.lzma; java -jar /home/michael/Downloads/Minecraft.jar"

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft Launcher version 2.0.805 / 2.0.806? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.
Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. It will be reopened it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.
If it crashed, please attach the crash report (found in .minecraft/crash-reports) so that we can diagnose your issue.
