I second that. The one thing which can happen is the X server flipping out
due to bad configuration, but the machine can still be rebooted with the
magic-threesome or through a rlogin session. Not a crash, more like a
program malfunction. Once configured I wonder what you have to do to make
X _crash_? With the new configuration utilities, these things happen
_very_ rarely.

Exactly. Most X users run a window manager, a few applications (xjed,
netscape, xterm, gimp etc.) and never do anything else with X. What would
these people need GGI for? Nothing.
