@Sitsofe

Since you feel so strongly, i have reverted it back.

But although you are right, it should not be possible to lock the system up for a userspace app, thats far from the current situation with graphics. Several xserver extensions and usage make it crash (look at all the bugs).

The bug is obviously not in the user-space app. But we can't fix the nvidia or ati driver..
Where can a workaround be placed? Well, compiz-fusion is the common factor. A workaround was already in place in Beryl (using nvidia- and ati-extensions instead of generic xserver-extensions).

So the bug is in the userspace app, but the workaround might be placed there.
