Comment 12 for bug 183922

Thanks for bringing this to X's attention Dan.

Yes, in fact what you've stated sums up what I'd consider to be requirement #1 for X: Non-root applications should not cause X to crash.

I generally consider if an app is crashing X, it indicates two bugs: First, a bug in the app for being naughty and causing X to crash, and second a bug in X for allowing the app to cause the crash in the first place.

It's not unlikely that the fix for making X not crash would involve returning an error to the app. Thus the app would still be broken, just less severely, and would still need some sort of fix.

Anyway, so I've added an xorg component to this bug in addition to the wine component. Both will need fixes I suspect.
