Subject: 27.0.50; Crash when openning a gnus message buffer
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 16:41:51 +0900

In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-unknown-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.22.28)
 of 2019-01-16 built on localhost
Windowing system distributor 'The Cygwin/X Project', version 11.0.12002000

Hi,

This may not be an Emacs bug, but I don't know how to solve it.
This is happenning since the last weekend.  Please help!

Recipe:
  With no .emacs .gnus.el .newsrc.eld files, and .config, Mail
  and News directories.
% emacs -Q
q
Eval: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil))
M-x gnus
(Gnus launches with no group)
m

Then Emacs crashes and I get either of the following two kinds
of errors in stderr:

1.
X protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) on protocol request 139
When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
Fatal error 6: Aborted

2.
(emacs:3360): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'emacs' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 7076 error_code 8 request_code 139 (RENDER) minor_code 4)
  (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

xbacktrace and backtrace follow.  Thanks in advance.

Great!  This seems to do the trick also to bug#34095.  Thanks.
(I'm colosing bug#34095 that's probably a duplicate.)
