This happened when I was drawing in sodipodi and temporarily went to another desktop and back (just by moving the mouse). But most time it doesn't happen. clock@kestrel:~/creat/ronja/trunk/drawings$ sodipodi fresnel2.svg The program 'sodipodi' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 13139968 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0) (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.) Looks like the same problem I get with Lotus Notes - there it also happens only with fvwm and only when you switch the desktops. The sodipodi even didn't save the work - it does during segfault, but obviously not during error like this. I don't know if the error is in X, fvwm or sodipodi, or the way they are patched, compiled, or put together, therefore I put the report here to gentoo.

Although Sodipodi is not officially "dead" yet, i don't think anybody is working on it at this time. It appears to be completely abandoned. I'd recommend using Inkscape (a fork of sodipodi). Opposite to Sodipodi, Inkscape is still in active development.
Created attachment 76561 [details, diff] patch to fix configure script to allow 4 element xft version
Created attachment 76562 [details, diff] change FRIBIDI_CHARSET_NOT_FOUND to FRIBIDI_CHAR_SET_NOT_FOUND
Created attachment 76563 [details, diff] update to ebuild
SORRY WRONG BUG... This are patches for a different bug (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111268) I don't know how did I put them here.
please migrate to inkscape, sodipodi is being removed from the tree shortly.
