This seemed to help with that bug. I played with the 
demo for about 5 minutes and was unable to get it to 
crash. Before, I could crash it in about 5-10 seconds.

I still can crash the server with my code I developed
under gtk+ 1.0.x. I was hoping it would magically go
away.  I am pretty sure it is not related to shared 
memory since I can crash the X server even when am 
running it on another machine and have exported the 
display. I have been unable to reproduce it on Linux.

thanks for the patch.
Todd
