[comp.windows.x] Interpretation of X errors. How?

d_haverkamp@rk7 (David Haverkamp) (03/19/91)

I have been getting the following errors when I try to have my application
running on a SUN4 display on a DECstation running Ultrix 4.X.


dah@duke: 37> X Error:  BadAtom
  Request Major code 17 ()
  Request Minor code 0
  ResourceID 0x781210
  Error Serial #606
  Current Serial #606

dah@duke: 35> X Error:  BadAtom
  Request Major code 17 ()
  Request Minor code 0
  ResourceID 0x780000
  Error Serial #2486
  Current Serial #2486


  I have been looking in the "X Protocol Reference Manual; Volume Zero" trying
to figure out what this error really means.  But have not found a good 
explaination of how to dechipher errors like this.  Does anyone have a good
explaination of how to interpret these errors?  The application I get these
errors with displays fine on the DECstation, but when I move the windows it
fails with the above errors ( I ran it a couple of times for the above errors.).

Thanks,
