In article <6846.25dae293@swift.cs.tcd.ie> gteo@swift.cs.tcd.ie writes: > X protocol error: BadIDchoice, invalid resource ID chosen for this connection If you look up BadIDChoice in the Xlib document, you will find that it is an error that cannot normally occur. A colleague of mine bumped into this error and found that a call to setitimer() caused it. This function causes a signal to be delivered to the program, and if this happens in the middle of an Xlib operation, Xlib can get confused. Try looking for `setitimer' or `SIG' in the program sources. If you do find a setitimer() you should probably consider re-coding it to use XtAppAddTimeOut(). -- Erik M. van der Poel erik@sra.co.jp (Japan) SRA, 1-1-1 Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku erik%sra.co.jp@uunet.uu.net (USA) Tokyo 102 Japan.
