I've allowed emacs and icecat to update after holding them back for sometime. So far icecat has yet to crash, although I haven't restart it so it's likely the safe version running from memory. Emacs, however, crashes instantly. Error details below.
address@hidden:~/ > emacs
(emacs-26-1:10553): Gdk-ERROR **: 17:18:31.044: The program 'emacs-26-1' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 605 error_code 8 request_code 2 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Fatal error 5: Trace/breakpoint trap
