Xlib: sequence lost (0x100a0 > 0xa2) in reply type 0x0!

I cannot run geeqie on my Gentoo Linux system. I always get Xlib: sequence lost (0x100a0 > 0xa2) in reply type 0x0!

(geeqie:510922): Gdk-ERROR **: 18:18:02.935: The program 'geeqie' received an X Window System error.

What could be the reason and how to fix this? Many thanks for hint, Helmut

It's probably the same as https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/829. Downgrading libX11 solves it for me.

Strangely enough, just setting export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 before starting geeqie still shows this error but does not crash anymore - not a fixed but a workaround

I'm getting the same thing on my Gentoo box (Geeqie 1.6). Running "geeqie --disable-clutter" does result in the app loading.

Using the current -9999 ebuild (git master, that is) fixes it for me on Gentoo using current libX11 1.7.0, most likely b/c of the fix in #829. Can people confirm this? This issue could be closed, then.
