The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 42137 error_code 11 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM) minor_code 5) (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) >Also, that would be a one-time thing the first time you open the font selector. yes, but it takes about 30 seconds to complete >Also, if you manage to close the drop-down it should likewise "unfreeze".
