Here is the error I got launching amsn (whatever version) : X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Value in failed request: 0x30 Serial number of failed request: 977 Current serial number in output stream: 979 Compiling tk with i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp solves this issue. According to another user, when tk is compiled with -fstack-protector and gcc-4.1.2 then no error at all.
