We haven’t seen that bug before, to my knowledge; does it go away if you
specify another font for XEmacs? (That’s the main X-Server specific problem
I’ve seen.) By definition, anything XEmacs does that causes the X server to
crash is a bug in the X server. It would probably help most if you could get
a backgrace from the X server, to see what X protocol request caused the
request, and to see if we can avoid it; you could also send the backtrace to
the SuSE people responsible for the X server. 

Bye,
