        Sigh - I don't like it. In theory we can "do this right" (TM) - the
concept of just ignoring all X errors is IMHO busted and leads to bad X
programming.

        OTOH - adding more XSync's at the necessary places reduces performance
I guess. If we purely used gtk+'s calls instead of hard-coding X calls
in tons of places, we wouldn't have this problem - yet fixing that is
really hard in the gtk2 code I guess.

        For gtk3 this is an abomination that shouldn't be there, but ... I
guess we'll have to do this for -3-5, deeply as it sucks.

        Sigh,

                Michael.
