I've also just ran into the issue with yet another program, pavucontrol.

brad@kazuki:~/ > pavucontrol --display=:0

(pavucontrol:12807): Gdk-ERROR **: 22:00:39.555: The program 'pavucontrol'
received an X Window System
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 7769 error_code 8 request_code 2 (core protocol)
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 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.)
