Yes I'm also looking forward to SLURM 19.05. We have had lots of issues with X11 since we upgraded to 18.08 and started using its built-in X11 support. Part of this was resolved by setting "X11Parameters=local_xauthority" in slurm.conf to reduce locking contention on the Xauthority file, but now we get a handful of nodes drained every day with reason "Kill task failed". In ten years of using SLURM I've never had so many problems as I'm having now. :\
