Bug 78224

Sorry, but that backtrace doesn't help. Errors in X11 are reported asynchronously. When sending a request, Xlib doesn't wait for a "there was no error"-reply from the server. Only randomly later does it receive errors, if one occurs. So the backtrace in that case is just "randomly later".

What is the error message that is printed on stderr?
Why is this bug titled "BadMatch is shm extention"? Did you guess that SHM is involved just from the backtrace?

(In reply to comment #1)

I know. Backtrace from a breakpoint in gdk_x_error with GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 so that's covered.

The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 795449 error_code 8 request_code 62 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
  (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.)

And name of the functions are _cairo_xlib_surface_update_shm/_cairo_xlib_surface_get_shm etc.

PS. I got another repro after running some time. I'll get a better stacktrace soon.

This time no cairo is bt. Any idea where the problem might be?

That's not a BadMatch. Error 3 is BadWindow. And major request 2 is ChangeWindowAttributes. Which matches the function from the backtrace (XSelectInput() is a wrapper for generating ChangeWindowAttribute requests).

And since this time there is no cairo involved in the backtrace, I guess that something is seriously wrong on your end which makes lots of stuff randomly fail which can't really fail.

Let's see if someone wh cares about cairo's Xlib backend has an idea...
