Hi, Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk> (17/05/2012): > Package: xserver-xorg > Version: 1:7.6+13 > Severity: normal > > To reproduce the crash, open any terminal (e.g. xterm) in a window > manager (icewm, dwm, i3 for example) and execute "kill <process>", where > <process> corresponds to the X server as identified with "ps ax".
