I've uploaded an X11 build that includes some debugging information
for the 2 reported crashes with 2.3.x (SwitchCoreKeyboard and
NewCurrentScreen).
If you are hitting either of these crashes, I urge you to install
2.3.1_rc1 and then replace /A/U/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 with this:
http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/SwitchCoreKeyboard-NewCurrentScreen/X11
It does not fix the problem, but it will spit out useful debugging
information to the system log before it crashes. If you are able to
trigger either of these bugs, please download this build and report
the messages sent to the system log when you crash.
Thanks,
Jeremy

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.
