I thought I answered this once, but maybe that was something else.
phigsmon crashing, as I recall, was due to a kernel bug in the SYSV
shared-memory crap (shmget and friends).  This was months and months
and months ago (maybe early summer), and was one of those situations
where I tracked it down, reported it to the current-users list with a
patch for feedback and was told "Oh, yeah, we fixed that yesterday, you
boob."  Ah well, life in the fast lane.

kernel-bug.  I wish I could tell you what version to upgrade to.

Deep in the bowels of the X11R5 source tree.

Me.

yes, although they are horrendously slow.

These are orthogonal issues.  The double-byte fonts have been screwed up
for months now, and up till now, only one guy has noticed it.

The mono server doesn't include PEX (the PHIGS extension), probably for
space reasons.  Just for laffs, I'll see if I can relink it to include
PHIGS extension.
