Whenever trying to play a video with Parole, the program crashes reproducibly with this message: The program 'parole' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 45 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19) (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.) System: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel-Version: 3.4.8 X-Server-Version: 1.12.3.901-1 Other video players (e.g. totem) still work fine, therefore I assume the bug is in Parole and not realted to GStreamer or XWindows.

Hello, Could you please run the latest parole with `parole --sync` and attach the output? Thanks, Sean
Hi, The bug seems to have vanished. I checked out and compiled parole from git (now that I got the right location) and I could not reproduce the bug any more. Sorry for the inconvenience! Best, Eckhart
Well, that's good news! Thanks for the update! ** Mystery Fix **
