Description Fabien Tassin 2014-02-10 20:41:20 UTC 
I'm not sure it should be filed in gtk or someplace else, please advise.

When I start emacs24 (gtk mode), it now crashes on startup (an abort).
It started a few days ago after I did a massive upgrade to 3.11.5, including gtk.


X protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) on protocol request 139
When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
