I just used aptitude to upgrade my debian/unstable box (the previous
full update was on 2006-03-19), and then several graphical programs
are now having one same error. For some it is fatal, for some it only
prints an error report.
These errors don't happen _at all_ when I launch windowmaker instead
of kde, and I absolutely don't know if this problem is specific to my
box, or due to a bug in a package (and then which package..)
Just in case it could be hardware-related, my video card is a nvidia
GeForce2 with 32MB RAM, and my screen is set to 1680x1050 (16bpp), I'm
using latest xorg server, with nv driver.
Here are the reports from a few various programs, hoping someone might
point me in the right direction :
-- firefox and thunderbird : crashes on launch with :
The program 'Gecko' 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 418 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23)
(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 --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.)
-- gqview : crashes on launch,
The program 'gqview' 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 143 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23)
etc.
-- "gimp --verbose" starts OK, until I click "open" then crashes
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 19546 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23)
- knode : reports errors, works normally
X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1

it seems all KDE apps work (printing a few of those reports along the
way), as overall my kde desktop and usual kde apps appear unaffected.
I had the same trouble. Upgrading to the latest xserver-xorg-core solves this (well, it did for me). I do not know how to link to my thread; You shall have to search the archive if you wish to find it. The thread is Upgrade xorg in Sid breaks link.
