minor_code 5 likely is DRI2's GetBuffer request, but could also be a
RANDRGetScreenInfo, RenderChangePicture, SHAPEQueryExtents, SHMCreatePixmap or
SyncQueryCounter. Of course, this doesn't really help us (does it?).

do "break gdk_x_error" before you "run" the program.

If the program supports this option: "run --sync".
