Bogus!

I definitely think so.

Not that I've heard.

It's ugly, but practical.  We ought to work around the bug until new X
libraries have a fix.  I have some gnome-session patches pending; I'll
check this in too.

libICE is maintained by the X maintainers.  So report it to X.org or
XFree (I don't know which; aven't done that in a long, long time).
