WHAT?! Unbelievable... that such a simple program could crash the
whole X server... Does this happen in similar programs (speyes,
wmeyes, xeyes+) too?



> @Polytropon: what version of xeyes/xorg-server are you using?

Currently none. My system is too old, I currently can't install any
new software without reinstalling the whole system. Still on 8.2 at
home, because I never touch a running system. :-)
