Using sm crashes Xorg in Maverick

[Lorenz]

Starting sm and then typing any key will crash the X server. I tested it both with the default in the package (/usr/games/sm) and sm.py in the source package.

If I invoke sm.py from the command line and type a key, the following line is written to stderr:
> sm.py: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

Inserting some logging told me that all of the methods defined in sm.py return before the crash:

[...]
resize called:
        h1 > 0 and w1 > 0
        finished
hq called:
        q == quality
        finished
redraw called:
        layout.get_text
                h1>0 and w1>0
        finished

Hey nukul,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

It works in Natty and reportedly, also in Maverick.

Same here. Works in Natty.
