'debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 4 win 65536 max 16384 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 32842 debug1: channel 2: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 debug1: channel 2: FORCE input drain debug1: channel 2: free: x11, nchannels 3 debug1: channel 1: FORCE input drain debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2 debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 32843 debug1: channel 1: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty) debug1: channel 1: FORCE input drain Atom id in failed request: 0x25 Serial number of failed request: 310 Current serial number in output stream: 310 2 /home/mbpssgms>>debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2' Gavin.
