Perhaps due to my broken hardware, I must be a great candidate to test this bug. I had crashes on average about every 3 to 4 hours on average. After a recent update of Xorg, the crashes diminished and GUI performance diminished. Since applying the patch, I've had no crash.
>please don't hijack this bugreport for other issues though.
No need to worry that, in this case. The disabling of middle button emulation would be a workaround for those afflicted by this issue.
Congratulations, it looks like you have found and fixed the bug!
