Detected X error #94

I'm trying to run the engine as the guide says with the example wallpaper but all I see is the screen opens the wallpaper engine window for a millisecond with a black screen, then it crashes, and gets the following output but the software keeps running image

when running through gdb it does the same thing and gets stuck at the same spot without getting any segfault or errors

Most likely the Desktop Environment you're using takes ownership of the background drawing and is conflicting with linux-wallpaperengine. I've added X error reporting back but I don't think it'll be of much more use for now. There's still lots of features left to be implemented, and extensive DE support is one of them :/

Hi, thank you for the response I realized I forgot to upload my system information so here it is image

I downloaded the new version with the reporting back and I see that my issue is similar to #80 image

This seems to be related to #8. The progress on support for Desktop Enviroment's is being tracked in that issue.
