Great to see your signed message, Michael. By the way, can you try
"xinit >& xinit.errors" (or startx, whatever program you use to start
X) and post the complete errors in xinit.errors. What you mentioned
above is probably just a single client dying (because the server went
down, and why the server went down is a more serious problem).
