I have managed to get output from the controlling terminal for X

The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1792 error_code 13 request_code 59 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.)
The program 'nautilus-throbber' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
