One possible issue is processes keeping the DRM open (Qt comes to mind
e.g.) long enough to prevent the next server generation from enabling
the DRI. If that's what happens (not too likely with twm I guess), it
would still be a bug, but it might present opportunities for (better)
workarounds.

Nicos Gollan followed up to your post with some good suggestions,
unfortunately he neglected to do so, unless maybe he BCC'd you.
