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
