Details
I usually like to start X form the console in the background
an then logout. I do it like this:
- Using zsh's builtins: startx &!; exit - Or using another shell and detach [1]: detach startx; exit Then the following actions will crash the whole X server: - Save and overwrite an already existing file with Firefox - Execute "Verify versions and deprecations" in Glade's preference dialog - Authenticate a buddy in Pidgin with the OTR plugin The following workaround makes the programs behave normal: - In zsh: startx &! 2> /dev/null; exit - With detach: detach startx 2> /dev/null; exit I have no idea what's going on. Maybe that's just a stupid way to start X. Since serveral applications are affected this could also be a GTK2 bug. Some package versions: detach 0.2.0-1 firefox 3.0.6-1 glade 3.5.4-1 gtk2 2.14.7-1 pidgin 2.5.4-1 pidgin-otr 3.2.0-1 zsh 4.3.9-1 [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24245 |

Futhermore I found out that another workaround is appending the "2> /dev/null" to my "exec xmonad" line in my ~/.xinitrc.
So it is probably an XMonad issue. So I'll post to their bugtracker.
I filed a report upstream: http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=279
