Comment 37 for bug 183969

This affects indeed also wxwidgets and wxpython.

Some examples:
$ python wxPython/demo/Main.py
The program 'python' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
 (Details: serial 652 error_code 11 request_code 145 minor_code 5)
 (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.)

$ python wxglade.py

The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

When trying SPE in debugger mode:

$ python /home/stani/sync/python/spe/_spe/SPE.py --debug

SPE v0.8.4.b (c)2003-2007 www.stani.be

If spe fails to start:
- type "python SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" at the command prompt
  (or if you use tcsh: "python SPE.py --debug >& debug.txt")
- send debug.txt with some info to spe.stani.be[at]gmail.com

Blender support disabled (run SPE inside Blender to enable).
Encrypted debugging enabled.

Spe is running in debugging mode with this configuration:
- platform : linux2
- python : 2.5.1
- wxPython : 2.8.4.0
- interface : <default>
- encoding : UTF-8

... the same story happens.
