That's all it's doing.  X dies when I'm switching desktops, either by
dragging the mouse, or by clicking the desktop in the deskguide.
Just to be sure: Is this about "real" desktops or virtual desktops? AFAIK
mouse dragging only works to switch between virtual ones?

Please tell me I'm crazy and that it isn't really happenning...
You're crazy and it isn't really happening. *grin*

Seriously, Sawmill isn't the culprit (Listen people: server crashes are
_never_ application bugs :) but it seems to point out this server bug better
than anything else.

If you could provide a gdb backtrace from a static server, that would be
great, otherwise you could send the log and other useful information either
here or maybe better to XFree86.
