It just blows up at random. This happens with gnome 1.2 as well but there
its not fatal to the panel so its a minor irritation.
The deskguide drawing the display stuff causes several problems
1. Its very demanding on CPU for a slow box
2. It eats memory on small boxes
3. Its behaviour on an xdm session on an xterminal is horrible since it
causes zillions of remote pixel lookups
