I have been told that some programs eat up a lot of memory which can cause the X server to crash. But also when I start a new server (after a crash) and do something inoffending as moving a window or an icon (or starting xlock with option rotor,swarm or qix, the rest works OK) it crashes on me. Does anybody have any ideas?
