Yes, that's the consensus. Apparently GC's have depth as an invisible
attribute. You can't query it, you can't change it, it's only documented
in the protocol spec, but if it doesn't match your program aborts. God I
love X.
I'll try this fix next time I'm in front of a color screen. On the
broader question of how to figure out what the server is complaining
about in cases like this, I have received one suggestion to use xscope.
I tried it, it doesn't work, and I don't see how it would help anyway
since I already know what X request is failing.
