I hate to burst your bubble, but this change should actually not fix
the crash... what it does do is workaround the issue you mentioned of
needing to reboot to get a working X once it does crash. I'm glad
things are working well for you though. Please keep me updated if and
when it does crash again, and let me know if the changes I made are
sufficient to get up and running again without the reboot.

FYI:
I thought I'd let you know that since applying this patch several
weeks ago,
X has not crashed once which is great! Thanks for the update. I also
reduced my rdesktop window size from 2000 x 1300 to 1920 x 1280.
One or
both may be the solution, but for the past few weeks, things have been
great.
Thanks,
Jesse

Thanks Jeremy. I will put this in place and try it out. I
submitted my
crash reports to Apple. I am also attaching them here for your
review. If
it happens with the patch, I'll send those as well.
Thanks,
Jesse

I think it might have something to do with launchd thinking X is
still
running ... not sure why that is. I have a possible workaround for
you (which incidentally I committed to git last night, so primo
timing).
Try downloading this:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/X11.bz2
Decompress it and place it here (overwriting the existing binary):
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/
This binary *should* have a workaround for this issue in place. The
next time this happens, you should probably get X11 to start via
X11.app, but without launchd support. You can verify this by typing
'echo $DISPLAY' from within an xterm within X11.app.
When this happens (either X11 not starting or starting correctly
with
this no-launchd workaround), please provide us with both the crash
log
and the Console.app log for the death of the old X11 and the start
of
the new X11.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi,
As a continuation of my historical posts to this list, I am
noticing
a new
issue with 2.1.4. When the rootless stuff crashes, I now have to
restart my
Mac because when I start X again, I have no titlebar and thus
cannot move
the X application window. Restarting X does not work. Logging off
and on
does not work. Can someone maybe tell me what is being restarted
or
reset
which is being fixed by the restart? If I knew what it was, I
could
manually restart it maybe. This whole having to reboot thing has
not
happened before. Needless to say, my god is it disrupting. What
is
the
general estimate as to when the rootless stuff in X.org is going
to be
stable and these problems are a thing of the past?
Thanks,
Jesse
