I think Marcus Thiessel has traced this to Motif 2.1. Have a look at
the PROBLEMS file and link against Motif1.2.
This is not in the PROBLEMS file, I think. What's in there is some
Motif 2.1 related stuff which also happens on AIX/Motif 2.1:
xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
It appears to be a XEmacs related bug.
If you are in a position to do so, it would be really helpful if you
could file a bug report against HP's Motif and let your exprts debug
it...
PHSS_19964, X/Motif2.1:Runtime:Oct:99 should fix the problem of the
not existing "windowed ancestor".
I'll provide a patch to the PROBLEMS file.
HTH,
