Summary: icewmbg causes xorg server crash

Initial Comment:
When running the CVS icwm 1.3 branch or the current betas for fedora 15 and ubuntu 11.04 (natty) running icewmbg causes
the xserver to crash ending the current session.

Running my own build of icewm-1.3 under fedora 15 (beta) 
$ uname -a
Linux ecube.site 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lspci | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 760G [Radeon 3000]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670]

I am running the free radeon drivers under fedora, but note that the crash happens using with the proprietary fglrx drivers under ubuntu/natty

I have attached the results of running strace -o icewm-v1.3.log icewmbg
which uses the icewmbg from my own build.
