[gps-users] GPS 1.2.2 & solaris

The program 'gps_exe' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 11552 error_code 11 request_code 45 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.)

I tried to do as suggested, ie break at gdk_x_error(), but I got:

(gdb) break gtk_x_error
Function "gtk_x_error" not defined.

So I did a break on _XError instead:

(gdb) break _XError
Breakpoint 1 at 0xfe7bc850
(gdb) cont
Breakpoint 1, 0xfe7bc850 in _XError ()
(gdb) back

This happens if I run it in a vanilla fvwm. However if I run it in an 
fvwm session where I have logged in using dtlogin (ie. the graphical login 
and not console login) it works like a charm.

Does anybody know why and hopefully how to ocrrect it?
