Sure, no change, though:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
serial 59 error_code 8 request_code 18 minor_code 0
ii pterm 0.58-1 PuTTY terminal emulator
xprop -root shows:
CUT_BUFFER3(UTF8_STRING) = 0x73, 0x69, 0x70, 0x3a, 0x30, 0x38, 0x30, 0x30,
0x33, 0x33, 0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x40, 0x73, 0x63, 0x68, 0x6d,
0x6f, 0x72, 0x70, 0x2e, 0x64, 0x65
Are you sure kterm and/or pterm actually do set one of the cut buffers to
non-STRING type in your tests?
Also, it should be fairly trivial, for someone who knows the code, to fix
it given the dump, without further testing.
Actually, identifiying the bug is easy even without code
knowledge: The only occurrences of XChangeProperty I could find is in
unix/gtkwin.c:init_cutbuffers, and indeed it assumes that all cut buffers
have type STRING. A BadMatch there should either be ignored (which is fine
as the only reason for the changeproperty is making sure the cut buffer is
alive) or the correct type should be used when appending (which is racy).
