Comment 8 for bug 296122

Okay, I probably should have asked this earlier, but in reviewing your report I notice that you are connecting one system with Intrepid (xserver 1.5) to another with Hardy (xserver 1.4). Can you test to see if it only occurs when connecting from Intrepid to Hardy? I.e., does a Hardy-to-Hardy connection work properly?

Also, from your last comment it sounds like xnest isn't crashing so much as exiting with an error code. In fact, "Major opcode of failed request" indicates it is a protocol level failure, such as a miscommunication between the client and server. So I really think your problem is due to an X version incompatibility between your client and server.

If there is a way you could test to prove or disprove that theory, it would be great.
