Yes.

Right; sorry I wasn't clear.  I was trying the snapshot because
1.8.2-1 fails in the same way.  What I meant was: Can I easily
go back to a consistent set of X.org files some time *before*
that ..

I have a Toshiba Portege M750.  It has Intel Display drivers.
But you know what, that got me thinking: I believe those
drivers were updated recently and maybe I should try winding
*them* back.

I understand gdb generally and all.  Can you give a bit of guidance about how
to start things (edits to startxwn.bat?) with gdb, to get you that back trace?

Thanks for the response, Jon ...
