I've been running this 2.x patch for nearly a week and all occurances of=20
the problem have gone away. Great.

I've put a note in Github to strongly recommend it should be merged and a=20
stable/bugfix release made -- considering 2.x is the "stable" release=20
right now, but most 2.x users are likely to experience crashes (on any=20
distrubution which receives libX11 updates)

Happy to help if there's anything more I can do here.

Thanks
