X Window System error

[mirmo]

When i try to launch pida, I get the following feedback:

The program 'pida' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2169 error_code 2 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Then pida closes right away.

I do not have even a clue about this, as I'm far far away from being able to understand this kind of thing, so i don't even know what kind of information could be useful for you pida developers. I suppose basic information about my environment could help: I'm running ubuntu dapper, with X.org 7.0.0.

I'd be happy to add any useful information, just tell me what you need/want :)

News from the front:

* I'm running pida 0.2.2 (ubuntu dapper package)
* obviously, I'm running it on ubuntu dapper
* I was running pida from a terminal (juste typing pida in my rxvt)
* I am using the gvim editor

The point is that i did rsync my home from another box, with an already existent .pida dir. After removing that .pida directory, everything went fine.

0.2.2 is nearly a year old, we are on 0.3.1

As it is, we just can't support 0.2.2. I have begged and pleaded with Ubuntu, but I met a brick wall. My only suggestion is to install 0.3 (sorry)

No problem :-)

Looks like the package from debian at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/pida does works with ubuntu dapper after installing python2.4-setuptools (dpkg still complains about python2.4-vte, but it works).
