More fun facts: If, after you start up emacs -q, you immediate quit it, the recipe in #5 still crashes X.
Starting non-X emacs (e.g. `emacs -nw` in a terminal) does not crash X. Starting multiple terminals does not crash X. I'm going to try to rebuild Emacs against the current Trusty package set and see if that can provoke the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-vmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284134 Title: Xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1284134/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
