    - You should now look around this offending X call and try to figure
      out what is wrong with it.
  
+ ** If Emacs causes errors or memory leaks in your X server
+ 
+ You can trace the traffic between Emacs and your X server with a tool
+ like xmon, available at ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/.
+ 
+ Xmon can be used to see exactly what Emacs sends when X protocol errors
+ happen.  If Emacs causes the X server memory usage to increase you can
+ use xmon to see what items Emacs creates in the server (windows,
+ graphical contexts, pixmaps) and what items Emacs delete.  If there
+ are consistently more creations than deletions, the type of item
+ and the activity you do when the items get created can give a hint where
+ to start debugging.
+ 
  ** If the symptom of the bug is that Emacs fails to respond
  
  Don't assume Emacs is `hung'--it may instead be in an infinite loop.
