<pre>When running a remote desktop kde session to a Fedora 18 (beta) system using
the Nomachine nx server and clients, several programs gives errors like:
$ emacs
(emacs:7292): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'emacs' received an X Window System
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 130 error_code 2 request_code 25 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
The nx remote desktop works fine on Fedora 16.
Some analysis was done in this mailing list thread:
<a href="http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2012-December/023829.html">http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2012-December/023829.html</a>
which suggests that cairo is not checking for xrender extensions before using
them, leading to the errors.
I can confirm that by setting LD_PRELOAD to preload the cairo libraries from
Fedora 17 before running eg emacs in the nx session, these errors do dont
happen.
I'm happy to run more tests if needed.
