Hope the collection of data about the bug worked.
In the meantime I got the old error message again:

Window manages warning: Window 0x4200013 (calibre - ) sets an MWM hint
indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 16383 x 16383 and max
size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.

A window this big that doesn't fit in the graphic's card's memory seems
to be a plausible reason for a crash.

Still it seems like the whole X server isn't always crashed:
Going to a console, killing the window manager, killing calibre (this
step is important, otherwise the window manager will immediately crash
again on re-launch - setting the DISPLAY variable to :0.0 and starting
the window manager again usually renders the system usable again.

Kind regards,
