Well, I can tell you what I was doing exactly _after_ the
crash occured.  :-D


I typically have 5-6 workspaces with (essentially) the tails
of different logfiles.  I think I was rapidly switching
through them using ctrl-keys (bbkeys = UpWorkspace,
DownWorkspace, LeftWorkspace, RightWorkspace: I keep my
bbpager as 2 columns and visualize it as such).

I think "rapidly" might be a key.  I often go over one
workspace and down one workspace very quickly..  I can't say
whether or not I was doing that at the time. 

One of the workspaces (that potentially I was leaving or
passing through) had the "xslite" window open from a
different machine, with the display on this one.  I can't
say for sure that I've always seen this crash when xslite
was open, but it's happened more than once.


I can tell you more stuff about the status of the wm:

I probably also had GAIM and Opera open..

Let's see.. I have a jpg on my root window using xv in the
style (I've since switched it back to bsetbg, to see if it
happens again).  Also "roottail" running on the root window.
