the bug has duplicates using 2.23.6
Some more info would be nice to have. What is the locale? Any specific list of apps which triggers that crash? In general, how could I reproduce the issue?
Probably same as bug 537592. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 537592 ***
What I suspect is that there is really some error in the interaction of g-s-d with X - but it uses first handler found (in our case xkl_process_error). Also, BadMatch is not listed among the errors caused by XGetWindowProperty. That is a bit strange. Did you try to run with --sync option?
