Re: Scrambled Fonts: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx

The same problem appears with Open Office Calc, when many windows are
open. It does (apparently) not appear when emacs is run under an xterm
instead of a gnome session.
It seems to be a gnome error, and might have something to do with
nvidia grafics and the propietary nvidia drivers - I have both.

Here are more reports about the same problem:

The following citation might be an explanation, but I have no clue
(from http://tinyurl.com/ycbf928):

""This is not a new bug. Its just that there was a gtk+ commit that
now shows this error: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/commi...970b93438295a9.

Bugs on the underlying issue:

Gnome bug 581526 in gdk "XID table corruption from reuse of XIDs,
resulting in leak, incorrect window destroyed status ("unexpectedly
destroyed"), and crash" - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581526.

Mozilla bug 467744 in Widget: Gtk "crash @gdk_window_new from
moz_drawingarea_create_windows after GdkWindow 0x???????? unexpectedly

I still don't know what to do about it.
