Description: When exiting i3-wm, at least 75% of the time I'll experience a kernel oops which forces me to use the magic SysRq key combination (REISUB) to reboot. I can reproduce this issue on two separate computers (a desktop tower using AMD/ATI and a Intel netbook).

I tested a bunch of window managers like dwm, openbox, awesome, and bspwm, but was unable to reproduce it on any other window manager besides i3.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
linux 3.11.1-1
i3-wm 4.6-1

* config and/or log files etc.
See attachments.

Steps to reproduce:
Install i3-wm, echo "exec i3" > .xinitrc, login via the console (I'm not using a graphical display manager) and run startx, hit enter a few times to get rid of i3's wizard, exit i3 (Mod4+Shift+e and click "Yes, exit i3" on the bar that pops up, by default.), i3 will exit and you'll be stuck with a black screen (most of the time, if not then try again).

Please report to upstream. There is nothing to do here. Thanks.
