I see same problem on Ubuntu 13.10 connecting via xrdp ...all program start fine except abiword...
If I start it from a terminal I see the following error abiword:17633): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'abiword' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 107 error_code 1 request_code 149 minor_code 8) (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202556 Title: Lubuntu 13.10 Abiword doesn't start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1202556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
