Relatively often happens to me something like this :
--------------------------------
root [2] Warning in <MakeDefCanvas>: creating a default canvas with name c1
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
Serial number of failed request: 4852
Current serial number in output stream: 4853
clri6g:
--------------------------------
The result is that the whole root dies, That's boring.
The problem lies probably somehwere in X. If I remember well, X has no
error handling, it just does exit, but maybe one can protect oneself
somehow ?
Any ideas ?
