I just wonder how in the world changing WM theme can kill even Wm
itself, not to mention, whole X?? are not ther some architectural
checkings in place to stop such things from happening?

I was changing WM themes Xubuntu (10.04 64-bit) - and puff. X died and was 
logged out. (and all apps died of course)
After that was not able to log in and was logged out every time (I suppose 
because there was still ¨Wildbush¨ inside  
 ~.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml

Also xfapplet (one that is used to start Gnome applets inside xfce) was
using 100 percent cpu time after X died, it survived logging out (?)

I edited xfwm4.xml with ¨Albatross¨ in it (thanks mr_pouit, ) and now being 
able to log in.
I wonder how many themes for Xfce kills X theese days. and how they manage to 
do that..
