Hi, I'm experiencing a problem that results in the same error message, which might be related. My xterm crashes when trying to display some UTF characters, with the following error: xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 77 (X_ImageText16) Serial number of failed request: 338 Current serial number in output stream: 339 This is easy to reproduce, try running this in xterm: echo -e "\0304\211" which immediately crashes xterm. If this also crashes your xterm, these issues might be related (or they might still be something entirely different, of course). Does your xterm / .profile / .bashrc or something else print stuff on startup? Might it be that there is a weird character in such a message that throws off xterm? Perhaps the message changes after the X server was started for some time? Gr. Matthijs
