[xmonad] Frequent xmonad crashes (SIGBUS)

[Zev Weiss]

Ah, forgot about that...nvidia, version 310.19 -- likely the culprit?
(I don't think I have the know-how to examine much further than that
on my own.)  Unfortunately it's on a system I don't personally
administrate, which complicates the matter of testing it with a
different driver somewhat.
