Sometimes, when I try to open a new frame (C-x 5 2), I get a "Wrong type
argument: number-or-marker-p, nil" message, and no frame opens. It
seems to work fine when I start emacs, but after a while, it stops
working, and won't work from then on until I restart emacs, so it may be
some mode or package that I'm using that's triggering this behaviour
when it gets loaded or run.
I tried "M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET C-x 5 2", but it doesn't give me
any information (the debug buffer doesn't show up).
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to debug this since
debug-on-error doesn't seem to be working?

Try setting `debug-on-signal'. If that doesn't help, try with
`debug-on-message'.
If the error is reproducible once it occurs, you can also try to debug
using the build-in debugger, e.g. via `debug-on-entry'.
HTH,
Michael.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get
debug-on-signal or debug-on-message to work.
I did manage to figure it out, though, since I ended up having to
restart my emacs, and I tried doing C-x 5 2 every once in a while. It
turns out that it's somehow caused by jabber-activity-mode from
emacs-jabber. I've disabled it for now, and I'll be posting on the
emacs-jabber list to see if someone there can help out.
