Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached

[Lucas J Barbuto <lucas@stabat.com>]

Hi All,

Running unstable, I'm having a problem opening new windows in X.

    $ aterm
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
    xlsclients:  unable to open display ":0.0"

The solution would appear obvious, close some windows, but I've only got
two terminals, firefox and x-chat running.

    $ xlsclients
    juno  /usr/bin/gnome-session --purge-delay=15000
    juno  aterm -fn smooth -fb smooth -bg black -fg gray -geometry 80x20 -ls -name aterm -title aterm +sb -sh 50 -tr
    juno  aterm -fn smooth -fb smooth -bg black -fg gray -geometry 80x20 -ls -name aterm -title aterm +sb -sh 50 -tr
    juno  gnome-settings-daemon
    juno  gnome-panel --screen=0
    juno  nautilus --screen=0
    juno  /usr/lib/gnome-panel/wnck-applet
    juno  /usr/lib/gnome-panel/mailcheck-applet
    juno  xchat
    juno  /usr/lib/gnome-panel/mixer_applet2
    juno  metacity --sm-save-file 1061195406-13153-2509766848.ms
    juno  /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin -height 600 -width 800

I can't find any runaway processes or other weirdnesses.  Where do I
start with this?  It's quite annoying!
