Good idea. I did one pass through the screensavers that way, letting
each one run a couple of seconds until it seemed to become repetitive.
None of this crashed my X server, which at least seems to tell me that
it is not one particular screensaver always triggering the problem.

But: twice during that test I was called away, left the thing running,
and came back to find the X server had exited again, apparently after
the "real" screensaver had kicked in. Twice in a day, that's much more
than ever before. So you may have found me a way to trigger the crash
with greater probability.

Thanks,
T.
