xorg crashes suddenly after installing dwm

Hello! I've been using i3wm for more than 1 year and migrated to dwm yesterday. It works as expected but sometimes it crashes and sends me to tty. Sample error messages are below:

Server terminated successfully. (0) Closing log file 951028:ERROR:broker_posix.cc (110) Error sending sync broker message: Broken pipe (32) Gdk-Message:dbeaver: Fatal 10 error

X11 connection broke (Error 1) Did the X11 server die? Server terminated successfully.(0) Closing log file. 40559:0415/171751.265961:ERROR:chrome_browser_main_extra_parts_x11.cc(62) X 10 error received (X server probably went away?)

I checked journalctl and xorg logs but could't find anything related. Can you help me with it?

- X.Org X Server 1.20.7
- archlinux 5.4.24-1-lts
- dwm 6.2 (20190203)

"Server terminated successfully.(0)" sounds more like dwm (or whatever kept the session open, are you using xinit/startx?) crashed/terminated and the server terminated as a consequence.
Other clients (like dbeaver or chromium) didn't expect that, lose the connection to the server and segfault in return.

I thought it's somehow related to dwm but didn't know this. So, I will run dwm with error logging again and use until it crashes again. Thanks for the tip.
