At Barry's request I've tried to reproduce the steps given in comment #5. Caveat: If I type 'alt' and enter 'terminal' I get no completion to launch the terminal, so for the test I launched it using the sidebar.
Having done so, launching 'emacs -q &' from the terminal and doing the maximize and minimize steps as stated do not crash X. I'm running VMWare Version 6.0.2 (1398658) on the latest Mavericks. My version of Trusty is up-to-date but 'apt-get upgrade' shows held-back packages.
