Xorg Crash.

[John Hein]

Define "common".  It was a known issue that caused a downgrade
in the past.
Here's some history:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2012-May/027402.html
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182953#c2
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=368007

I also thought this had affected other OS's as well, but I can't find
references at the moment.

That's interesting that this is causing the same trouble
WITH_NEW_XORG, too.
Your package list will be interesting to see.
I had thought it was just an old XORG / old intel driver issue.

I would definitely stick the requested files & package list somewhere.
We'll want to see that.
