This should be fixed now in distributions (I can't reproduce it on Ubuntu). I think it was a bug in one of the components used by BKChem.

Hello Kenward,

I am not able to make BKChem crash by manipulating the symbols of atoms in any way.
Under normal circumstances BKChem should not be able to crash the X server directly - by some error in its code. It operates on a level too high to be able to do this.
It seems to me that this could be some issue of incompatible libraries, or something similar. Relatively recently, there was an issue with Ubuntu systems, where a broken Blt library crashed BKChem with a Segmentation fault. I had to fix this by side-stepping the Blt library completely.
Do you have bkchem-0.12.5? In case of an older version, it could be a slightly different manifestation of the same problem.
Otherwise, you could try a different version of the Tk/Tcl library.

I have tried several times to create a "line drawing vs. Lewis structure" image for my students, but in the process of configuring one of the structures to show its atoms, I went back after picking other C's, redid the choice, and X totally crashed.

I've found no error messages yet in any log file. I'll be glad to look anywhere suggested.

I'm running Debian Sid, very recent upgrade, nvidia card with nvidia driver.

What else can I offer as info?
