I have a problem with applications crashing. Xterm will launch and run ok, but any attempt to mouse select text will cause an immediate crash with this output on the console: xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x17f Serial number of failed request: 131 Current serial number in output stream: 133 If I attempt to run a gui app like wish, it won't launch and produces this error: %wish8.4 X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x1a5 Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 15 I'm running 5.3 on the server and desktop, with X forwarded over an ssh tunnel. I don't experience this issue when performing the same operation but with a Microsoft Windows/XWin32 desktop. Is this an issue with the X.org Xserver on the 5.3 workstation? Let me know what other detail I can provide if needed. cheers, joel
