I just installed the new package, spent about 20 minutes trying to crash it
with the usual methods, and I have been unable to reproduce the crashes
anymore. I repeatedly suspended-to-RAM, logged out, changed VTs, and even
killed the X server - with no grey block crashes. In the past, I could
cause said crashes to occur after 2 or 3 minutes. So far, it seems this
fixes the most severe issue - though there may be other ways of producing
the "grey blocks of death" (like the aforementioned Xv issue).

If this does indeed seem to fix the problem for everyone, I do hope this can
be committed for Gutsy final...
