This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.

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.)
