Comment:

 Investigation of the crash in GDB (the one I get after recompiling) shows
 a race condition in the way the window is created and connected.

 I noticed use of BWindowScreen tends to crahs the intel_extreme driver, so
 it's safer to test this using VESA (or fix the intel_extreme driver to
 handle 8-bit video modes again).
