Description conrausch 2003-12-19 11:45:58 CET
after having saved a session on logout, everytime i start xfce, xfdesktop quitd
with the following error message:
The program 'xfdesktop' received an X Window System error.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom Parameter)'.
(Details: serial 228 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)

if i delete my .xfce directory, it works again, until i save the session on
logout...
interesting: even after the error occured, i can start xfdesktop manually and
it behaves as expected.
does anybody have an idea about why this happens?

Additional information:

i use a pretty recent (i think yesterday) CVS_HEAD compiled with
CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -mmmx -O3"

Yeah, there's a bug in the CVS HEAD version related to X root window
properties. Probably pointing to the wrong window id or something.

I need to find some time to look at it ...

It should be fixed in CVS now. Please reopen if it still gives the error.

Closing this now, since there have been no more complaints.
