Stop working with X windows error

[Mario Santoro]

Cairo-dock-3.0 OpenGL on ubuntu 11.10 64 bit (kernel 3.0.0-19 ) compiz gnome disappear and I get this message from console:

The program 'cairo-dock' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 39220 error_code 3 request_code 18 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.)

Hello and thank you for this bug report,

Can you explain how can we reproduce this bug? Do you have this bug all the time?
Is it possible to give us more details about your video card? What the output of these commands launched from a terminal?
  $ lspci | grep VGA
  $ glxinfo

[Mario Santoro (santoro-ma)]

Hello!
Thank you for the wonderful and useful cairo-dock!

I don't know if is related but the bug occurred after:
updating kernel
installing twitter applet on cairo-dock

I don't have this bug all times:
yesterday nearly every time (after the bug report), but until
now, running cairo-dock from terminal (cairo-dock &) everything is OK!

This is strange...
It's maybe due to the update... If you still have this bug, please re-open this bug report ;)

[Mario Santoro (santoro-ma)]

Thanks!
today all works fine!!!

I STILL HAVE THIS BUG

cairo_dock_create_texture_from_surface (123x23)
cairo_dock_trigger_redraw_subdock_content (scorciatoie, 0)
The program 'cairo-dock' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1076833 error_code 3 request_code 18 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.)

*@Fabounet*: can you have a look to this bug report? :)

[Brian (mycompostpile)]

Not sure it it is related or not but I received similar errors in a terminal while testing but did not get a crash. I had received a long list of errors:

Many like this:
warning : (/build/buildd/cairo-dock-3.0.0.1/src/gldit/cairo-dock-applications-manager.c:cairo_dock_create_surface_from_xpixmap:1231)
  No thumbnail available.
Either the WM doesn't support this functionnality, or the window was minimized when the dock has been launched.

Many like this:
kbuildsycoca4(25248) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/xubuntu/applications/Thunar.desktop"
kbuildsycoca4(25248) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType in ".hidden/kommander.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).
kbuildsycoca4(25248) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry x-scheme-handler/file in "/home/brian/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).
kbuildsycoca4(25248) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry x-scheme-handler/trash in "/home/brian/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).

and finally these:
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
  Resource id: 0x460140f
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
  Resource id: 0x460140f
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Resource id: 0x460140f

I copied everything and pasted it into a gedit window (I have attached the file) then saved and closed gedit. Then when I went back to the terminal I had this error:
warning : (/build/buildd/cairo-dock-plug-ins-3.0.0.1/GMenu/src/applet-util.c:cd_expand_field_codes:120)
  Unexpected field code %U in exec string 'gedit %U' : cannot handle file or url codes in the menu.

Realizing that I had gedit open and it appeared in the dock as an icon I thought about what I had opened kde related for the other messages (given the kbuildsycoca4 and kommander.desktop references I assume it was KDE related) and realized that I was playing a kde game while waiting for my youtube-dl to complete (I was testing functionality for queued up urls).

This may not be related but there are many similarities.

[Brian (mycompostpile)]

Forgot to mention that gedit and the kde game are not part of my dock they just had icons displayed there because they were opened.

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

I'm not sure that these errors are related:
 * No thumbnail available => that means your WM didn't give an xpixmap of your minimised windows (in order to have a preview of your minimised windows in the dock). Maybe a problem with the WM or X.
 * about others errors: as you said, they are produced by kconquest (it's just because you launch it with Cairo-Dock and all output messages are redirected to the terminal where Cairo-Dock is launched)
 * and about the warning with gedit and GMenu, it's just a warning to say that the dock doesn't like this field code ;)

So don't worry about these messages ;)

[Brian (mycompostpile)]

matttbe, thanks for the info. I will keep this in mind while testing and reporting.

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

Hello! (and sorry for this very long delay!)

Do you still have this crash with the latest stable version? (3.3.0)
