Remember that Xlib is asynchronous. The error can only be detected on the
server and is returned like an event.
When debugging in X run in synchronous mode by calling
XSynchronize(display, True)
so that your errors will be reported immediately after the program issues
the request to XCopyArea.
NB. Your question would have been answered quicker in comp.windows.x, hence
the Followup-To.
