So far it appears that Sylpheed is the only thing I have installed that 
crashes Xorg. But I'd probably need to see how they built Sylpheed, like 
if they used GTK or whatever. I glanced at the source for 60 seconds and 
nothing popped out.

I'm using KDE. I used to only use Xfce, I cannot remember why I switched 
to KDE but i've been using that on everything. On this machine I've only 
installed pkg.

I'm pretty sure the Xorg 'pos' bug was discovered and fixed in August 
2016, and this version probably does not have that fix.

This is obviously compositing, I'd have to research where to turn that 
off to see if it makes a difference. But maybe it's OK to wait for a new 
Xorg version.
