OK booting off the live CD 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx 64bit version the problem is duplicated exactly. I'll try the 32 bit version and post back, can't imagine any difference though

SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005 You have mail. $ gedit The program 'gedit' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 11 error_code 3 request_code 150 minor_code 2) (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 --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) $ -- X does not forward correctly from Solaris10 to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396678 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
