	Deleting frame and reconnecting to Emacs daemon results in blank frame
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:07:27 +0100

With Emacs from Bzr linked against Motif 2.3.4, I get a blank frame
when connecting for the second time to a daemonised Emacs.

To reproduce:

   $ emacs -Q --daemon
   $ emacsclient -c
   Waiting for Emacs...

Up to here everything appears to be o.k.
Now I delete the frame and try to connect for a second time:

   C-x 5 0
   $ emacsclient -c
   Waiting for Emacs...
   *ERROR*: X protocol error: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) on protocol request 138

This time, I get above error message and a blank Emacs frame. (For the
menu bar, the background colour is visible, but otherwise it is also
blank. The toolbar is not visible at all.) Sometimes the error appears
only when connecting to the daemon for the third time.

The problem disappears when I disable the menu bar ("M-x menu-bar-mode
RET" before doing "C-x 5 0" the first time).
