If you are interested in running performance tests, its best to run it
without any window manager running.  Certain X requests are redirected
to the window manager and this could interfere with the tests.

Does the X server die and leave the console in an unusable state or do
you exit cleanly when the error occurs?  Also, what console messages
do you see when the server exits?
