Timmy,

Sorry, I don't have a clue as to what's causing this. The only other thing
that I might suggest, since it's giving you an error on an xlib call, would
be to try running under some different window manager and see if the symptoms
change. Just a shot in the dark, but that's about all I can think of.

Dave
