Hello Ethereal-Experts,

I installed Ethereal on a new server on Fedora Core 3.
Everytime I try to start ethereal remotly (with ssh) I got the following error:

The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 134 error_code 3 request_code 38 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.)


But other X-Programs (like gedit, xclock...) working fine through SSH.
Any idea what it could be?
Maybe a bug in ethereal or GTK?

Thanks in advanced
Christian
