do the backtraces always look like this or do they vary?
They are always in XCheckIfEvent, although how they get there varies,
e.g.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

i'm not sure what to do about this, unfortunately, other than
trying a
different version of the X server or related drivers, or compiling your
own version of XEmacs. (maybe you'll get lucky and some combination of
these will avoid triggering the X bug.)
Even though I only see this triggered running Xemacs, I agree this
looks like a X bug (or possibly a driver problem). Xorg? NVIDIA?
Any ideas?
