Bug#727662: more tests
I've just done some more tests between the problem system (running Wheezy with
a kernel from Unstable) and the system that works well (everything from
Unstable).
If I run "ssh -Y wheezy gimp" from the Unstable system then everything is OK.
If I run "ssh -Y unstable gimp" from the Wheezy system then Xorg stops
working.
I think it's unlikely to be a Gimp bug as there are two different versions
(2.8.2-2 and 2.8.6-1) causing the same problems.
Also it should be noted that I have one of the worst bits of video hardware
that you are likely to see in an AMD64 system. No-one who has a choice would
choose such a video controller, but the system in question is a Dell PowerEdge
server with PCIe*8 slots and it's almost impossible to find a matching video
card.
