Description Owen Taylor 2009-11-16 15:04:05 UTC 
When accessibility is enabled, the Metacity process will have a display open for the accessibility bridge GTK+ module; if an X IO error is received on that display, this will hit the Metacity XIOErrorHandler, since XIOErrorHandler's are global for the process, which causes a meta_bug() rather than a graceful exit.

(See bug 537843 for the atexit() XCloseDisplay() in atk-bridge that turns this from unlikely to very likely.)

We should just exit in this case. [Maybe _exit() to work around the atk-bridge problem]
