[SOLVED] Gdk-ERROR **:BadDrawable
The workaround is to compile those apps with --disable-screensaver
or if you can actually get into the application disable any
idle/screensaver checking.
Gaim/gabber/everybuddy are all affected. disabling the screensaver and
recompiling the app fixes the issue. Trust me it took me a long long time
to find this out (hunting and asking on various lists.)

It's a bug in the X idle notification extension (see bug
#161072). Unfortunately, this library is linked statically, so one
would have to fix xlibs and then recompile those applications. This
should already be fixed in unstable.
I'm sorry - I think I may have asked this question
a few months back. I actually run "testing".
In general, how unstable is "unstable"?
Thanks,
