I'm moving my IBM T42p from 5.3BETA4 to 6.0 STABLE
I've built all the xorg, gnome2, and xemacs stuff from ports
portsnap'ed a couple of days ago w/ BATCH=1.
I'm running a GENERIC kernel that was build from today's STABLE
sources.
I've created a new user w/ the default .files, using tcsh, and no
emacs/xemacs configuration files, so it's unlikely to be anything in
my personal configuration (?).
The X server is running w/out any configuration file.
Whenever I type a bit of text into xemacs and "kill" it (e.g. move to
the beginning of the line hit control-k), I get a pair of messages in
the xterm window from which I started xemacs:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Resource id in failed request: 0xe006b8
Serial number of failed request: 20223
Current serial number in output stream: 20225
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent)
Resource id in failed request: 0xe006b8
Serial number of failed request: 20224
Current serial number in output stream: 20225
It only happens when nautilus is running.
xlsclient -la tells me that nautilus has a window who's id is close
to the resource id of the failed requests, but I don't know how those
id's are generated:
Window 0xe00001:
Machine: satchel.alerce.com
Name: File Manager
Icon Name: File Manager
Command: nautilus
Instance/Class: nautilus/Nautilus
'Sometimes' (I can't consistently repeat it), stopping nautilus,
cutting something in xemacs, then starting nautilus will generate the
pair of messages.
I tried to get some feedback a while back about a similar problem that
also involved ssh, here's a pointer to the start of that thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2005-June/011636.html
I never really resolved it then, just stopped running nautilus (sadly
it seems to be responsible for setting the background...).
I get occasional mail from folks who see my earlier post, so I don't
think I'm the only person seeing this.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I'd appreciate any leads, hints, pointers, me-too's, works-for-me's,
etc....
