The X server does not expect the time to go backwards. Whatever you run on your computer while X is running, do not ever allow the time to go backwards. If time goes forwards, about the worst that will happen is the screensaver or DPMS will kick in. If it goes backwards, deadlock can result. -- Mike A.
