Several questions to narrow some possible causes down:

Does opening new window by View -> Duplicate Area in New Window also crashes?
Does it happen with previous blender versions downlaoded from blender.org?
Does it happen with latest nightly builds from builder.blender.org?
Does using blender-softwaregl makes any difference in crash?

Intel Express cards are ancient tech and there are several known issues with them, one of them is the crash on opening user preferences (or any other second window within Blender). I am afraid we cannot solve that.

@ThomasDinges, there were indeed some crashes caused by Intel drivers, but those were obviously happening in OpenGL driver itself. Attached backtrace here goes into libX instead. Surely it could be related on the driver as well (memory corruption or so), but it could also be caused by other factors. So at this point it's too early to give any definitive conclusion about roots of the issue here.

GHOST_SetTitle would crash when called from WM_window_open_temp, if creating a new window failed - for any reason.

Committed fix so this case fails with an error instead of crashing, 8471362987
