Thanks. It did help.

Question: when a window is closed, does the X server automatically destroy all pixmaps associated with that window ? Or are pixmaps self sustaining entities that can survive the destruction of one window so that the client can re-used it on another window (consider mosaic or mozilla which can have multiple windows opened at the same time).

In my case, I had the server crash long after I had closed some image intejnsive page that couldn't display all images. And I had done other operations since in Mozilla and was back to only havin the messaging window opened.

Is it possible Mozilla forgot to ask the server to delete some pixmaps ?

or perhaps that when the server is unable to create a pixmap due to lack of memory, it is left in an unpredicatble state that will enventually end up having it crash ?
