It does (apparently) not appear when emacs is run under an xterm instead of a gnome session. It seems to be a gnome error, and might have something to do with nvidia grafics and the propietary nvidia drivers - I have both. Here are more reports about the same problem: http://tinyurl.com/3yfyz3y The following citation might be an explanation, but I have no clue (from http://tinyurl.com/ycbf928): ""This is not a new bug. Its just that there was a gtk+ commit that now shows this error: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/commi...970b93438295a9. Bugs on the underlying issue: Gnome bug 581526 in gdk "XID table corruption from reuse of XIDs, resulting in leak, incorrect window destroyed status ("unexpectedly destroyed"), and crash" - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581526.

I still don't know what to do about it.
