Description
One way to run emacs is running it in client/server mode:
↳ emacs --fg-daemon
But seems there's an issue related to Gtk that may cause emacs to crash:
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this problem.
As you noticed, we can avoid it by compiling emacs with -with-x-toolkit=lucid option.
Edit: Personally i encounter this issue most of the time.
