If something practical doesn't work, please, document in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268386 GTK (unlike XAW et al.) isn't the most stable GUI for Emacs e.g., $ emacs --daemon Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221 Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is unexpectedly lost. Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this problem. [...] I've frequently bumped into the issue on X11 when editing xorg.conf (e.g., test compton vs. TearFree) or updating xf86-* drivers thus needed to restart Xorg. It's less of a concern on Wayland because most compositors support live config updates and don't use xf86-* at all.
