Re: X error and vim dies

If this problem has consequences (vim dying in the middle of your work can be bad), if you build your own vim a workaround is to modify os_unix.c in the x_error_handler function, to replace the preserve_exit() call with

     g_print("%s", IObuff);

or just comment out the preserve_exit() call.  I have used this workaround for a BadWindow error for about a decade, with no ill effect.
