X error: BadWindow

[arcogabbo]

Software runs fine but when i try to set the wallpaper as screen background this error shows up:

No scene.pkg file found at .../2770917518_gate_to_heaven/. Defaulting to normal folder storage
Found requested screen: HDMI-0 -> 0x0:1920x1080
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  40 (X_TranslateCoords)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x402a51
  Serial number of failed request:  228
  Current serial number in output stream:  228

Tried to search other issues with no luck. I'm currently on GNOME 40.4 on pop-os 21.10 . My graphics card is an Nvidia 960 4GB and i have proprietary drivers installed.

Any help is appreciated

I will look a bit closer into it, but judging from your setup, I'd say most likely GNOME is the one causing this issue (as we don't really have support for those kind of complex systems right now).

Also having this. Running pop-os too, with GNOME. Here's my log:

Having the same problem, but this time with Linux Mint. Tried with Cinnamon, XFCE, GNOME and KDE, neither of them worked. Here's my log (it's the same for each of the DEs):
