There's a similar thread on the Enlightenment list, about newer
Imlibs crashing on Windows X-servers.  The consensus there was
that the Windows X-server was at fault (not 100% compliant?).  It
seems to run fine locally, but core dumps when run remotely
through Windows.  An older Imlib (1.3) did not core dump.  That's
as far as it's gotten.
