On the subject of 'xtex', several people have told me that it fails
when hitting the quit-page button in the page popup (e.g., when the
xtex-page-quit() is taken). This action deletes a widget tree in which
an InstallAccelerators has been done.

The core dump traces back to a call to RemoveAccelerators or somesuch;
I'm not making that call, it's a consequence of the widget tree
deletion. Now, allegedly, this only occurs with X fixes 13,14
installed.  fixes 1-12 work fine (that's what I use), but 13,14 break
it. Fixed 13,14 introduced shared accelerator tables or translation
tables.

Does some Wise Person know if these problems have any semantic affect
on programs? Likewise, are there fixes-in-the-wings that would be
helpful? I've added code to insure that I only InstallAccelerator the
accelerators once, thinking it was a resource maintaince problem, but
that doesn't seem to help.
