Okay, so now we find something in gmc that is causing X to crash.  The
question still stands as to what is gmc is doing that revealed a bug in
the X server.

Right, but being neither a GNOME programmer or a person familiar with the
X server internals, I wouldn't know that.  From my point of view, a GNOME
app crashed the X server, so I'll ask here.  GMC didn't crash the X server
before, it's doing it now.

I'll send something to the Xfree86 people, but I still sort of need to
know what gmc at the time to make X crash.
