Replies in X are generally asynchronous.
Rather than sending a command, reading the result, sending another
command, etc, it sends a bunch of commands, and only waits for results
when it actually wants them.
`unexpected async reply' generally means that it got a reply to
something it didn't think that it sent.
I'm not entirely sure whether there's anything that you can do about
it, although running the program with the `-sync' flag may help.
`-sync' causes X to wait for a reply before sending the next command.
It can slow things down enormously (particularly if the connection
between the application and the X server is via a network), but it can
help with debugging.
