[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.85; preview from menu

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Launching GNU Emacs 23.1.50 with -Q, teaching it to learn the load  
path to AUCTeX, making it require auctex (and preview) I load a LaTeX  
document. Choosing to create *any* kind of preview from the menu lets  
GNU Emacs instantly crash – but not when I type C-c C-p C-<whatever>  
which succeeds. The crash happens before GNU Emacs asks me to cache  
the preamble. In *shell* buffer from which I launched it is reported:

	X protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)  
on protocol request 53


Emacs  : GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, X toolkit,  
Xaw3d scroll bars)

Ein wahrer Pessimist wird durch ein wenig Erfolg nicht gleich entmutigt.
