Do you have composite enabled? I've seen that cause massive problems.
XMMS will crash if composite is turned on. So I am guessing some other
programs will as well.


setenv XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS 1 may also fix it.... it works here...
but I have to run it in a terminal and then run xmms...
 btw where would I stick that if I am using xdm? I am guessing
.xprofile, but am not sure
