I'm having trouble with the 2.3.0 release, namely it crashes
randomly, or so it seems. Then the server tries to relaunch
periodically, with no effect. If I try to close my session and
re-login, the server tries again to relaunch, with the same effect,
i.e. immediate crash of the X server. I even tried to reboot. Same
effect.
Are you saying that the relaunch attempts happened after login, even
after a reboot, without you having done anything to start X11?
No, this is after having launched a terminal (using iTerm) and an editing software like nedit. The window never comes and the X server periodically bounces tas it would start but fails immediately.
