As tested before. after s/Q/q the error does NOT show.

It does NOT happen If You use --without-cairo. Perhaps this could be a
workaround for my case. But I still think We should try to find the
offending line. WDYT?

for cleanup tasks it's ok. But for x_frame_highlight. I am getting rid
of all the X-frames on this display. Is there a way of avoiding calling
that function in case of close-display-connections.
