Oh dear. Well it seems I only thought I added code to only enable
resize support in multiwindow mode when requested, so it's always on
for multiwindow mode at the moment. That wouldn't be so bad, but it
also seems that the -resize code completely fails to correctly handle
a change of colour depth (e.g. from 32 bits to 16 bits or vice versa)
leading to this segfault.
Unfortunately, fixing this looks to be quite complex :-(
Thanks for testing, anyhow :-)
So... does that mean I have to roll back or face a seg fault after every
commute? Or is there a way to explicitly disable it?
