I have a dual head configurion and I tend to run fullscreen apps with a DISPLAY env variable so that I can read the wine output. I recently started getting this error, so it would appear to happen whenever the DISPLAY env variable is set, no matter if it's remote or not. I had put it down to some xlibs that I upgraded at the same time the error started happening. I haven't tried rolling back all the way to the March release, but I did roll back to 14th CVS, and that doesn't work. I had thought that the 14th had worked for me before the library upgrade, but I am probably mistaken. -- Alex
