Xorg crashed with SIGABRT

[David Kastrup]

Happened after an upgrade. First the desktop became unresponsive (Emacs window stopped accepting input even while appearing to have focus according to cursor shape, Alt-Tab did nothing, nor did clicking on any desktop icons). Console switching still worked. SIGTERM failed to impress panel and desktop, so turned to SIGKILL. No change on the desktop (still a working mouse cursor but no reaction to keys or clicks) when console-switching back. Finally, switching back stopped working also, displaying just a blinking text cursor on a blank screen, then this abort.
