I'm trying to start ccp4i over an X11 tunneled ssh session (ssh -X). This works for many applications but not for ccp4i. I get the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)

The "Atom" in the error message is a red herring -
Apparently this is not related to ccp4i: googling on your
error mesage shows it occurring for many specific apps.
The solution seems to be use "trusted X forwarding" (ssh -Y
instead of -X).
