Under 21.5, I'm still seeing the problem Michael described in: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200202/msg00135.html pressing M-x results in this error message: xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 91 (X_QueryColors) Value in failed request: 0xffffffff Serial number of failed request: 958 Current serial number in output stream: 958 This bug appeared sometime after 2002-01-29. This bug is triggered by: (resize-minibuffer-mode) Just to take a shot in the dark, I think your generic toolbar code may be involved, Bill. Not very many code changes have gone on since 1/29, and fewer still have been X-related. - vin
