[dev] dwm: can't open aterm/xterm

[Bruce Bauman]

I am running dwm as the window manager under TinyCore Linux, and have a
keymapping set up to launch an aterm. It fails with the error:

X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x1000032
  Serial number of failed request:  26
  Current serial number in output stream:  26

With other window managers (e.g. fvwm4) this works fine.

I know it has to be something stupid, but what am I doing wrong?

Note: I also get dwm: missing fontset: ISO8859-1 when I start dwm, but
I'm assuming this is irrelevant.

Thanks.
