Snippet from an email to the author of xchat:
>> I have gnome 1.2 + Enlightement 0.16.4, xchat 1.8.7.
>> I want to use transparent backgrounds in xchat (with
tint "on"). Note
>> that a background ("daemon") program changes the
background image of
>> enlightenment from time to time. Version 1.8.0 of
xchat was crashing
>> almost instantlty when the background changed. 1.8.7
crashes but after a
>> while.
>> Crash error is
>> Gdk-ERROR **: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window
parameter)
>> serial 102204 error_code 9 request_code 14
minor_code 0
>> Also I noticed that while Eterm was updating its
background when
>> changed, xchat updated its background only if I
moved the window around.

Note: I was having 9 desktops and using chbg to change
the background. Using Esetroot indeed didn't crashed
xchat anymore. I guess you should look at how exactly
Esetroot changes the background...
Thank you.
