Bug#425189: libgtk2.0-0: BadValue on XkbSelectEventDetails with Xsgi

[Tony 'Nicoya' Mantler]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.10.12-2
Severity: normal

Somewhere in version 2.10 of libgtk, a call to XkbSelectEventDetails() was added around 
line 300 of gdk/x11/gdkdisplay-x11.c, in gdk_display_open. This call causes gtk 
applications to fail to run when displaying to an Xsgi X server, with an error message 
like the following:

The program 'xscreensaver-demo' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 73 error_code 2 request_code 139 minor_code 1)
  (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.)

Commenting out the XkbSelectEventDetails() call allows the apps to start and run 
normally. I'm not really well versed enough in X11 to say exactly why the call is 
failing.
