I receive the above error when running Emacs server under X with KDE,
with a GTK Theme installed from the GTK/QT Theme Engine
(http://gtk-qt.ecs.soton.ac.uk/), when trying to open `emacsclient -c'
over an SSH connection (ssh -CY).  If I open a new Emacs instance with

emacs -Q -f server-start

I get a clean Emacs without the GTK theme (bearing a default GTK theme,
that is), and I can `make-frame-on-display' on my home display.

Thanks for confirming that.  Does your distribution also provide
emacs-22.3?  If yes, is it compiled with gtk?  Can you please check if
emacs -Q followed by M-x make-frame-on-display work on that version?

Yup, that was it. With the lucid toolkit, the problem is gone. Thanks
for the hint, and good luck in finding out what is wrong with gtk ;-).

I'll try. But this will take some time, since I didn't compile this
myself (it's the version coming with Ubunto 8.10).

Can you please try to recompile emacs with --with-x-toolkit=lucid ? 
And try again 
emacs -Q and M-x make-frame-on-display ?
(This is to make sure this is not a Gtk bug)

Putting (server-start) in your .emacs is most of the time not the same
as using 

emacs -Q -f server-start&

so please try that, and even better, please try what Stefan asked:

  Actually, can you just try it without any emacsclient/server?
  I.e. start Emacs on one of the screens, then do
  M-x make-frame-on-display and specify the other display.

Make sure that you use 

emacs -Q&

when trying the above.

I already had put (server-start) in my .emacs. This shows the same

Can you please try to see if your scenario works without using the
--daemon option?

Start emacs like this:

emacs -Q -f server-start&

and then use
 emacsclient -c 
to connect.

Hi,

I wanted to start using the "emacs --daemon" option with subsequent
"emacsclient ..." invocations. Everything works fine, as long as only
one of my X11 screens is used. But when I want to start a new frame
on display :0.1 while one or more frames are already running on
display :0.0 the following happens:

- Executing "emacsclient -c " for the first time: A frame appears, and
  immediately disappears again with the error message
  *ERROR*: X protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) on protocol request 14

- Executing "emacsclient -c " for the second time: A frame appears,
  but emacs is in a complete dead lock after this.

Used Version: 
i  emacs-snapshot                                   1:20081013-1

on Ubuntu 8.10 / x86_64

Thanks for your help,

Roland
