I've gotten two of those crashes in the last three days and I'm not
doing any saving of pixmaps! I am having pixmaps display on the screen
however.  What is puzzling is that the pixmaps do not change, they only
move.

I had developed the hypothesis that the GNOME use of xscreensaver was
related to this problem, but an N of 2 does not lead to firm deductions.

Cool thing I just learned about. Xemacs comes with a built in lisp
package that lets you view directories on sites that offer ftp service
and edit files and save them on the ftp site "transparantly".  Except
for requiring you to run an ftp daemon (security risk!), this is a cool
setup.
