Subject: bug#7949: 24.0.50; GNU Emacs with Xaw3d does not launch as X client
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:07:19 +0100 [thread overview]

Can you put a breakpoint in the X error handler and see what the error is
about? You must run in synchronous mode for the stack backtrace to be useful:
% emacs -xrm '*synchronous: true'
Does commenting out the XSync in the error handler fix things?
