** If you encounter X protocol errors
Try evaluating (x-synchronize t). That puts Emacs into synchronous
mode, where each Xlib call checks for errors before it returns. This
mode is much slower, but when you get an error, you will see exactly
which call really caused the error.
The X server normally reports protocol errors asynchronously,
so you find out about them long after the primitive which caused
the error has returned.
To get clear information about the cause of an error, try evaluating
(x-synchronize t). That puts Emacs into synchronous mode, where each
Xlib call checks for errors before it returns. This mode is much
slower, but when you get an error, you will see exactly which call
really caused the error.
You can start Emacs in a synchronous mode by invoking it with the -xrm
option, like this:
