Lubuntu 13.10 Abiword doesn't start with flrgx

[Stoik]

When launching Abiword does not start, the computer processes the first time but does not start, subsequent attempts will not process either. If I launch it from the terminal with the command line "sudo abiword" I get as a response:
(abiword:1884): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'abiword' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 154 error_code 1 request_code 153 minor_code 19)
  (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I am not able to reproduce this issue with abiword 3.0.0~svn20130523-1ubuntu2, it starts just fine. Maybe it has been fixed already? Could you please update to the latest version and see if you still have this problem?

The version that I use Abiword is the last to Lubuntu Saucy until then will come out a new I can not update it. When I try to run Abiword from the terminal with the command line "sudo abiword" I get as a response to the following:
(abiword:1884): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'abiword' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 154 error_code 1 request_code 153 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

Hm, I was just comparing the version number listed in the original report (3.0.0~svn20130523) with the latest available one in Saucy (3.0.0~svn20130523-1ubuntu2). Looking close, the version number might have been cut off by apport (for some reason?), could you please verify this is indeed the version you have installed, for instance with: apt-cache policy abiword ?

I see same problem on Ubuntu 13.10 connecting via xrdp ...all program start fine except abiword...

If I start it from a terminal I see the following error

abiword:17633): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'abiword' received an X Window System
 error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.

Abiword only crashes on my netbook when the proprietary grphics driver fglrx is installed. It works fine with open source drivers (but other things don't).
