I am having a lot of trouble with xfce crashing on my Zenwalk machine.
I really like using xfce when it is working, however, frustration is
high when it crashes. Below is what I posted on a Zenwalk forum to
assist in determining what is going wrong. (I show only a font warning
in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log.)

Re: X Server crashing
Bummer.... After upgrading from xfce package -2z28 to -3z30 and
having to deal with general craziness
WARNING...WARNING, WILL ROBINSON, WARNING --- DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
I 'downgraded' to package -2z28 again and thought that things were
working well, UNTIL.......
I had Firefox freeze up on me. I stopped chestnut-dialer, went to
my second page / screen, started up Frozen Bubble, and got kicked
out of my session. Back to the login screen we go, do not pass go,
do not collect $200.00.
Here is the last of the output from my .xsession-errors:

And there you go....
Nothing really shows up in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
I am at a loss. Any thoughts?

Re: X Server crashing
Guess what? Twice since the last post. Here, the only thing I had
running was chestnut-dialer and firefox.
