Well, a little - but nothing excessive IMHO.

Not recently...I've been using Linux all the way back to when
it was called Minix and I have run Xfree for *years* - in the
beginning, it was kinda flakey - but I can honestly say that
over the past year or two, X has not been a source of major
grief to me. It has it's faults (installation!) - but I have
not really had problems with it.

Evidently!...I wonder why?  Presumably there is something you
do that I don't.  Can you give me some examples of things I
could try that make it die horribly?
