Not so good :-(. Thanks for testing it, anyway.
I found a rather bad crash bug I'd introduced and fixed that, so
you might
want to try today's snapshot [1], but I'm not confident that I
fixed the
problem you saw, so a backtrace would be helpful if you still get
crashes.
OK, I'm running it now and have attached gdb to it. The good news is
that
I've been running it for a couple hours with no crash, and I've used
texworks
and have opened many tex files and pdf files in it without a
problem. The bad
news is that texworks becomes unresponsive and has to be killed
whenever I try
to compile a tex file. I have no idea whether this is due to an X
server
problem or something completely different. Anyway, I'll post a
backtrace if
the server crashes.
In case you want to try to reproduce the current problem, start
texworks, open
a tex file (such as the file test1.tex whose contents I listed at the
beginning of this thread), and click on the icon at the left end of
the
toolbar (brown triangle on a green background). This is supposed to
cause
test1.tex to get compiled, but for me it just causes texworks to
become
unresponsive. This was working properly with the previous version of
the X
server (until the server crashed).
Thanks for testing this X server snapshot.
For me, the problem of texworks hanging only occurs very
intermittently. It
seems to be blocked deep in QtCore, waiting for the spawned process to
terminate (which has already happened).
Attaching to the texworks process, I get a backtrace like this:

I'm guessing this is waiting for the pdftex process to terminate, but
ps shows
it as '(defunct)' already...
