I had a similar problem - I traced mine to an X font call.

My problem occurs when I switch focus between windows.
The workaround is to not use italic fonts for any of the font higlighting.

You need to start designer, open a perl project and go straight to 
edit->prefs and select perl editor tab.
Then make sure none of the elements (comment, hash key etc) have the 
'italic' checkbox selected.

I think this is an X bug - it shouldn't segfault no matter what string 
it's passed as a font.
One problem is that I can't create a minimal test case - if I do the 
font string works :(
(Indeed the preview in Preferences is fine too...!)

I have the X source code and have stepped to the X line that causes the 
problem.

I submitted 2 comprehensive mails to the Debian X list - both ignored.

Sorry if this isn't your problem - you didn't say if it was an immediate 
fault or occured after certain user actions. (ie does the designer 
window pop up at all?)
