After the problem the other day I rolled back to a previous working
generation. I've now updated and still had problems, so I'm back with
new crashes. I noticed it mentioned an environment variable to display
more info, so here are two crashes, the second one has it enabled.

icecat:3108): Gdk-ERROR **: 18:11:32.573: The program 'icecat' received
an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 26875 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.) zsh: trace trap  icecat
