When running the example @ http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/xevie/xevie-test.txt, I received this error:

The program 'xevie-test' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 12 error_code 16 request_code 153 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.)


I was able to work around this by changing Xeviestr.h:126 from:

#define sz_xXevieSendReq           104

to

#define sz_xXevieSendReq           40
