[cairo] Cairo Troubleshooting

[Daniel Smith]

Hello all,

I run debian unstable and have installed all of the debian packages as 
built by Dave Beckett.
I have compiled up the cairo demo programs and fdclock and cannot get 
them to run.

I'm sure this is a basic error on my part, and I apologise for taking up 
your time, however I know there is going to be a concept that would be 
useful for me to grasp.

The error is as such:

---

daniel at xander:~/fdclock$ ./fdclock
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  72 (X_PutImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  32
  Current serial number in output stream:  39

---

Any help getting me started would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel
