Well, I don't see WMFS packaged for Debian, so I don't think this is
severity important. Looks more like a WMFS bug, because is unlikely X
can be crashed by a client unless exploiting a bug on the libraries or in
the window manager (and that could cause it to crash with Debian WMs or libs).
In order to reproduce this I'd first need to know how to get WMFS running,
eventually the same version you're using, so a brief how-to is needed for this
poor maintainer :) Until that I'll tag this as unreproducible.

Wouldn't be usual, but...

In this case it helps to see that it's not only claws-mail, which supports
my theory of a WMFS bug.
