It happens often enough to be annoying, but I haven't figured out exactly
what I'm doing to trigger it yet. I'll give it a few more tries and see
what I can find out.

Are you able to reliably trigger this crash? You must be if you're
reverting to 2.2.3. I have not once hit this. Can you please tell me
what you do to trigger this bug reliably? If that fails, then I'll try
putting together a special executable with additional debugging spew for you
to try.

Don't worry about X11 complaining about /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb not being
there. I just haven't silenced that XKB message, but it's harmless.

I'm actually hitting the same crash:

However, when I went to remove /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb, I found that that
directory didn't exist at all. So, I started looking through console
messages and X11 is complaining about it missing:

8/19/08 6:17:32 PM [0x0-0xc40c4].org.x.X11[3071] (EE) XKB: Couldn't open
rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base

I'm running "XQuartz 2.3.1 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple9)".

I had been hitting this crash when 2.3.0 was initially released, but since
I'm using X11 at work, I didn't have time to mess around with it and it
crashed often enough that I couldn't continue using it (since all my work
is
done in xterms ssh'ing into a Linux box), so I downgraded to 2.2.3.

Any ideas for stuff I can try?

For now, I'm going to downgrade to 2.2.3 again so I can continue working.
:)

Thanks.

Just as a hunch, can you pleast try nukeing /usr/X11/share/X11/ xkb (just

move it somewhere else, so the server can't find it)?

Sure I'l try that, but the crash hasn't reoccurred since I last emailed
this list, so its not very repeatable.
