The good news is that I've been running it for a couple hours with no crash, and I've used texworks and have opened many tex files and pdf files in it without a problem. The bad news is that texworks becomes unresponsive and has to be killed whenever I try to compile a tex file. I have no idea whether this is due to an X server problem or something completely different.
fork() errors? Are there any messages on the console?

In case you want to try to reproduce the current problem, start texworks, open a tex file (such as the file test1.tex whose contents I listed at the beginning of this thread), and click on the icon at the left end of the toolbar (brown triangle on a green background). This is supposed to cause test1.tex to get compiled, but for me it just causes texworks to become unresponsive. This was working properly with the previous version of the X server (until the server crashed).
After I kill texworks, `ps' shows a dbus-daemon process and a dbus-launch process that weren't there before I started texworks, but maybe that's to be expected.
texworks uses QtDBus, so it needs a DBus session bus. If one isn't present (which nowadays you need for just about anything), it will start its own instance.
If you are using multiwindow with startxwin, I strongly recommend adding the following to the beginning of your ~/.startxwinrc:
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`
