However every time I restart X these messages appear in dmesg: [drm:radeon_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Excess frees: 3 frees, 2 allocs [drm:radeon_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Attempt to free NULL pointer [drm:radeon_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Excess frees: 4 frees, 2 allocs Should I worry about this? Bugzilla?

You essentially kill all running apps. You may lose unsaved work, config files, data files of various applications if they don't shut down cleanly. It's rare that problems arise mind you, but not worth risking it if you can shut down cleanly.
