Hi,
Someone mailed me (as I can't find the email here, I can only assume that
they used my work address, which ain't a good idea) about an X11 crash
which can be caused by manipulating windows larger than the screen.
I have been able to reproduce this problem here (every time), and it's
looking to me like a generic X11R6 bug.
The X server is trying to access an area just before screen memory, which
doesn't exist. Unfortunately, the X server doesn't seem to trap/handle
correctly the invalid drawable with coordinates: x=6, y=-1000 (x=0,y=0
being top-left, and increasing +vely to bottom right).
The short answer to this problem would be to recompile a later version of
X (with intl support for those who need it), but this will take some time
to sort out the sources to allow it to be compiled.
