Description Laurent Bigonville 2010-11-08 15:35:21 UTC 
Hi,

This bug has been reported into the debian BTS:

"On X terminals, Empathy fails at startup with this error message :

The program 'empathy' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 31 error_code 1 request_code 137 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

This renders Empathy unusable with LTSP."

I'm pretty sure that's because of Clutter. Can you run other Clutter app on this configuration?

That's right, we have exactly the same result with Emerillon (tested on the same computer): 

The program 'emerillon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 130 error_code 1 request_code 136 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
