Hi Kevin

Well just run it from an xterm sent a mail to another of my systems and
i get this ..

[pete at 7-of-9 ~]$ claws-mail 
The program 'claws-mail' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 62148 error_code 3 request_code 152 minor_code 3)
  (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.)

if that helps i do not have any of the debugging stuff installed on
here ..


Pete .
