It was all working fine until this morning. I get now all the while error messages like this especially if I run Firefox. The error message caught comes from Thunderbird. I did not see this error while Firefox was not running. Erich PS The error message: Script started on Thu Aug 30 14:18:40 2007 You have mail. /home/erich > thunderbird & [1] 42052 /home/erich > The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 186251 error_code 16 request_code 18 minor_code 0) (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.) exit [1] Exit 1 thunderbird exit Script done on Thu Aug 30 15:03:39 2007
