We've *recently* seen this sort of problem here at RSI as well, but it
involves iconifying or de-iconifying windows. For example, if you create an
IDLgrWindow, iconify it, and then destroy it, the X server will sometimes
hang or crash. It seems that if you iconify or de-iconify the window and
then destroy it very soon after that, the problem occurs more frequently

Your problem and the other discussions in the thread aren't exactly this
same as this, but there was enough similarity to mention it.

I'm planning on filing a problem report with Apple. An X client shouldn't
be able to make the X server crash, no matter what the client does.
