I think Finding memory problems with valgrind in Debugging needs to be
rewritten.

Yesterday I was using it to attempt to provide useful information for
T1315 and T1277. I followed it, but when it gets to launching another
X Server and starting enlightenment, everything started to fall apart.
The X Server starts, but trying to run E on it failed for me, all I
got was a black screen and a cursor.

* You don't need to run valgrind separately.
* It never covers the options of `enlightenment` or
`enlightenment_start`.
* Assumes that the reader/user is looking for memory problems by
default.

I'd make the (limited) changes myself, but I want to know if anyone
else had anything to say. I don't know what else I'd add, as I'm not
really well versed with debugging.

Also, does anyone know how to kill an X Server started with sudo X
-ac :1 ? htop doesn't seem to help.

$ sudo pkill -f X -ac :1

that should find the correct x instance.

$ sudo pkill -n X

may also work, but ymmv.

On Debian-based systems, pkill and pgrep are found in the 'procps'
package.
