This Emacs was killed 4 times over, oh boy...

OK, the error happens when Emacs attempts to display a tooltip.  Is it
correct that you cannot show a tooltip at all without crashing Emacs?

As to why, we need help from X experts.  The immediate reason is the
call to x_get_monitor_attributes_xrandr.  Ken, can you take a look?
Why would that call trigger an X error?
