Comment # 41 on bug 1191517 from Martin Wilck

Problem A): emacs crashes with XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
Problem B): emacs crashes without XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

A new occurence of A) was just reported in bug 1186341. It appears that the
occurence of A) is increasing. The only person reporting B) was Maurizio Galli
(comment 1186341, comment 20 ff.). Admittedly, there was only a short time
window in which XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS= wasn't set by default, so perhaps there
would have been more reporters of B) if the change hadn't been reverted
quickly.

Still, "Necessary to keep Flash from crashing" (comment 19) seems to be a very
weak rationale for having emacs crash.

So perhaps we should vote for changing the default once more...
