Re: x11 freezes



I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem.  I also get an
occasional complete crash like Steve reports:

> instead of freezing x11 just plain disappears.  In either case

but usuallly I get the freeze with the quartz-wm error.  Steve, do you
get this error if you look in
Applications/Utilities/Console after X11 dies?

quartz-wm[352] *** -[NSCFString toplevel_id]: selector not recognized
quartz-wm: caught exception: NSInvalidArgumentException - ***
-[NSCFString toplevel_id]: selector not recognized

I don't think my problem is with resources, since I have 4 GB of RAM,
but I'll look at that.  I might have some strange X resources set in
my .Xdefaults that quartz-wm is unhappy with.  I've tried running X
with twm instead, and I haven't had the problem.  But (IMHO) twm bites
so much that I haven't had the patience to use it for long.

Thanks,
Eric
