The program 'ggl-gtk' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 407 error_code 5 request_code 19 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

googling shows similar errors, which are unsolved, were solved by a patch
uploaded onto google code (this was for version 0.10) and a dependency issue.
