e2 uses multiple threads, and is somewhat aggressive in its approach to quickly
presenting results of threaded operations in the UI. So it needs to be careful
about simultaneous attempts to use xlib/server. Doing so will typically trigger
a crash.
Since gtk 2.16 I think (when it started using xlib more asynchronously but
without documentation how so), e2's behaviour has been sporadically (but
rarely) bad. Here I've seen several crashes in recent months, but have never
been able to reproduce the behaviour so as to get a decent insight into what
assumption is now invalid.
So more feedback is welcome, it may help identify where to focus.

Tom
