Summary:
Zephyr unusable over Remote X Display

Detailed description
Maybe this is a Tcl/Tk bug? I'm trying to run Zephyr 1.1.2 on a 32-bit Fedora Core 10 machine, displayed remotely on Mac OS 10.6 (over ssh). The Zephyr window opens just fine, but whenever my cursor enters a text box or button, it crashes with this error: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 38 (X_QueryPointer) Resource id in failed request: 0xdd Serial number of failed request: 5760 Current serial number in output stream: 5760 [1]+ Exit 1 zephyr The serial number, of course, is always different, but everything else is always the same. Interestingly, the tabs work just fine - it's all the other controls that crash. Some versioning information: Local X server: XQuartz 2.3.4 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple45) Remote X server: xorg-x11-server 1.5.3-18.fc10 Local SSH: OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 Remote SSHD: OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 Linux kernel: Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 i686 Tcl interpreter: tcl-8.5.3-1.fc10.i386 Under OS X you apparently have to run X-forwarding from xterm instead of the default terminal. I used the -X flag to turn on forwarding. Anything else you need to know?

Date: 2010-03-04 17:37 Sender: Christopher Bruns I wonder if it might help to try the "-Y" flag to ssh instead of the "-X" flag. I found some discussions on the interwebs that might be illuminating: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2005/02/21/0003.html http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/BadAtom_BadWindow_errors_with_ssh_X11_forwarding.html
