It's included in the Xorg server in OpenSolaris, but that may not be the
real cause - there are two messages there - the first line appears to be
the well-known GTK bug in which it always tries to use RandR, even when
it's not present - but that usually just causes warnings like the first
line, not crashes like the rest.
Unfortunately, due to another well-known GTK bug/design flaw, the error
message in the second part discards the information we need to figure
out what extension it was using when it failed - it just reports "141",
but extension codes are dynamically assigned based on which extensions
are supported by your X server/configuration. If you can reproduce
this error, then you can run "xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | less" and look
through the list of reported extensions for one with an opcode matching
the request code in the error message.
