Bad news from my latest experiment:
# X Protocol error detected by server: integer parameter out of range
# Failed request major op code 1 X_CreateWindow
# Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
# ResourceID 0x0 in failed request (if applicable)
# Serial number of failed request 32
# Current serial number in output stream 52
This occurs after I've set up all the widgetry and called XtMainLoop(). When
I get these from an XtRealizeWidget() or XtCreateManagedWidget() I can
look hard at the widget I just created. In this instance I don't quite
know where to look. So: how do I find out more about this error? Perhaps
if I can dump out the whole X_CreateWindow message I can find the parameter
that's in error and work back to locating the problem in my code.
I'm going to go peruse the source to see if there's a wizardly debugging
mechanism for this... But even if I find the answer, I thought the question
(and any answers to it) would be generally useful to others.

R1 forced me to grep through .h files to map magic protocol request numbers to names. that's apparently no longer true. mike olson britton lee, inc. ...!mtxinu!blia!mao olson@ucbvax.berkeley.edu
