gnome-terminal: BadMatch on SGI display

[Toralf Lund <toralf kscanners com>]

Here is what happens when I try to start gnome-terminal on a Linux box
after rlogin from an SGI O2 workstation:

indonesia:~ : gnome-terminal
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 448 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 451 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0

The problem started occurring in gnome-core 1.2.1 (I think), and it's
still there in the version I checked out from the CVS archive yesterday.

This looks a lot like a visual handling error that we have also seen on
some other applications, including AbiWord. I think someone at HelixCode
knew more about this. Bugs like this tend to uncover themselves on the
O2 due to it's advanced configuration when it comes to number of
graphics modes, visuals etc. I guess the bottom line is that the XFree
server isn't really suitable for testing because it's far too
simplistic.
