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.... g.
