Tested with this clx version. It crashed, like, two times since then.
This way it looks abit more stable, but I'm not 100% sure. If it
matters, my libx11 version is  1.4.99.901-1

IIRC this crashes started after system update, not clx update.
Aproximately the same time clfswm terminal bug appeared (press C-F12,
small 2x2 square appears and at top left corner and immidiately
disappears, press M-t c, clfswm terminal appears at top left corner,
now C-F12 and M-t c functions as intended)

One more bug that is here from days i started using clfswm is when you
open skype chat (or file transfer window) and then close it via
C-<esc> s, you can not open it anymore (by double-clicking person's
name in contact list or any other way)
