Yes, but more significantly I ran into the following bug...

Add the following crontask (requires xv and wget)

*/5     8-9,18-23       *       *       *       rm -f /tmp/loc40.jpg >> /dev/null && cd /tmp >> /dev/null && /usr/local/bin/wget http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/compass/camera/pictures/loc40.jpg >>/dev/null &&  /usr/X11R6/bin/xv -display newbox:0 -root -wait 1 /tmp/loc40.jpg >> /dev/null

And I find X locks up in about 1.5 days. (Requires Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc)
Enlightenment on the otherhand has been going for 2+ weeks without
a problem.
