Yeah, it will be difficult to work out what those processes are because
they will have a short life. For the record though, I see the same
messages as you in my Xorg log every now and again but I don't
experience your issues, so they might be a red-herring. Still, it would
be nice to be able to figure out what clients are being denied access by
the X server.
