Because GNOME does something differently.  That doesn't change the fact that
it should NEVER be possible for a bug in an X client to kill the X server.
This isn't Windows; we don't just shrug off bugs in the basic system as
something to be worked around in the application.

That doesn't mean that there's no point in looking for workarounds, but it
*does* mean that the real problem should be found and a fix sent to the
XFree86 folks before implementing the workaround.
