    I wonder if you can provide me with modified sources to help identify the
    cause of this?  Otherwise, if you are willing to send me instructions on how
    to do what you are asking I'll try that out too.

Sorry, I can't even try.  I am not an expert on X or on the system you
are using.  Only a person who is an expert on them can debug this
efficiently.  

The method you have in mind would also be very inefficient for my
time, and since I am working on GNU 10 to 12 hours a day and not fully
keeping up, I can't afford that.  This work has to get done in a way
that doesn't all depend on me.
