Does this always happen?  The IDchoice error is possibly a bug in your
Xlib.  Typically, only the first 2 lines of the error message are
useful.  You can find descriptions of the errors on p. 350-351 of
Scheifler's DP book and in the descriptions of the various Xlib
functions.  The other error data is discussed on p. 346.
