Severity: important

Hi,

kfreebsd-10's default setting kern.ipc.shmall is 4096

Qt applications exhaust this very quickly;  after that, widgets fail to
render and errors like these are spewed to stdout:
| X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
|   Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
|   Resource id:  0x0

I think this is also the reason for VLC to segfault in xcb_xv vout:
| [0000000848001268] xcb_xv vout display error: shared memory allocation error: 
Cannot allocate memory
| Segmentation fault

This shared memory quota can be exhausted by lmms alone, or qjackctl +
vlc, or qjackctl + psi-plus + other Qt applications running together.

As suggested here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-July/074203.html
raising kern.ipc.shmall: 4096 -> 32768 seems sufficient so far.
