Since quite a while now, I intermittently get the following error when working with dev-util/eclipse-sdk 3.2.1-r1 (-branding cairo gnome opengl seamonkey): The program 'Gecko' 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 10057118 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.) I set the bug critical since those intermittent crashes may cause data loss. I save very frequently so I did not loose more than a few minutes worth of work, but my annoyance level has gotten high lately. I tried a google search and one on this site but while gecko-related crashes of X apps is very common, I found nothing much about it happening with eclipse... The error so far never occured shortly after (re)starting the application, but about 1/2 to 5 hours after application start when working extensively with it. I was not able to reproduce the problem deliberately so far, however it appears the problem is triggered by clipboard and/or selection actions (most crashes happen when I use <shift>-<cursor> to select something or use <ctrl>-<ins> to copy <shift>-<ins> to paste. I work on Java code mostly. The problem is not confined to the JDT/Java editor though, I've seen it happen in other editors (like the SQL Editor of the Quantum Plugin), too. I have also never seen this problem when the application is idle (i. e. no editors are being used). The Problem occurs with different Sun JDK's 1.5.0.08 - 1.6.0-r1 at least. Since I thought this might be related to Bug 140089 I unmerged gecko-sdk and reemerged eclipse without luck. Binaries of Eclipse 3.3M4 (taken from eclipse.org) installed in a private directory also show the error. That installation does not use /usr/bin/eclipse-3.2 to start up, so that file should be irrelevant to the error. The description of bug 145691 sounds somewhat familiar, however the bug definetely occurs with 3.2.1-r1 here. IIRC the error did not occur before moving to the modular xorg build, so maybe the problem was introduced there. In case its relevant: I have not seen a similar crash with any other application so far. In the attachement I add some information on my setup that might help squash this one. Since I am not an expert in debugging X or Gecko apps, if you need more information please let me know what to do/what you need. Any help is much appreciated, Alexander "Flexx" Wessel
Created attachment 107061 [details] Information on possibly involved libs
One thing I noticed: Few days ago I globally enable the xcb use flag (in /etc/make.conf). Since then I got the following error & crash with comparable frequency as the one I describe in comment #1: Gecko: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. This seems to proove that the problem is related to the clipboard/cutbuffer. Should this be filed to upstream?
To confirm that xcb was involved (see comment 2), I re-emerged x11-libs/libX11-1.1.1, media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1 and x11-libs/cairo-1.3.14 without the xcb useflag. After that, I get the original message again.
I am experiencing the same exact problem with Eclipse on my machine (a colleague is also experiencing this problem). I have tried various binary builds as well as two versions in portage. I will attach a bug report that was generated after the latest crash.

Created attachment 160098 [details] another crash log same sort of issue, doubt this will get fixed as 3.4 is already out.
3.2 is no longer supported.
(In reply to comment #7) > 3.2 is no longer supported. No worries, I guess we have all moved on by now... ;)
