Crashes X or crashes your machine? I don't see anything unusual
in the code other than it uses the shape extension. It is reading
proc files however so maybe it's a linux kernel bug if it's crashing
your machine. The application:
http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_5159.html
doesn't display anything on my system, so maybe you need window
maker running for it to work.
Mark.
