The request code of two means:
#define X_ChangeWindowAttributes        2

But where do we send a change window attribute request with a bad parameter?

Now I am a bit clueless. The only thing I can think off to try next is
to switch off SHM by setting the default XWindowBufferUseXShm to NO. The
error is happening in the SHM code, so we may get around that problem,
but it wont tell us, what went wrong and why.

Perhaps if SHM isn't really the issue, we may get a better error message.
