Ahh yes, I sleuthed that one, so I feel compelled to respond..
I tentatively agree, with the stipulation that we probably need to
advertise (or fix if possible) the problem where Grygoriy determined
he *could* replicate fltk apps *crashing the entire xserver* with a
certain version of xorg (7.2).
See his 09:13 Apr 02 2009 entry with the backtrace in STR#2185.
With that info, maybe no one felt too excited to uncomment, as it
probably means fltk apps will crash the entire xserver on linux distros
that have that 7.2 xorg release (or whatever /range/ of xorg releases
has this problem, 7.2 just being one)
All we really know is that 7.2 crashes, and 7.4 does not.
Probably our best X windows font guy should look at this to see
if it can be prevented, since it can take down the whole window manager:
