This just happened to me again: GNU Emacs¹ filled up my root-partition

Hmm, previously this bug was a nuisance, but filling users' hard disks
is a serious problem.
Given this, I think it's best not to try to be too clever in handling
the loss of X connections. I've just checked in a patch that kills GTK
Emacs when that happens.
