	This is a known item.  It appeared with xorg-7.4 because
certain functionality has been added to the Xorg libraries but not
(yet) to the server.
	In all other cases where this has appeared, it has been
eventually disgnosed as "annoying but harmless".  Unless hard
evidence to the contrary appears, look for problem elsewhere.
	It also - as far as I know, and I am not an expert - has
nothing to do with this:

>  > (soffice:2726): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an

	which is only a warning.  (But should still be investigated and
fixed.)
