What OS are you using (Linux/Mac OSX etc)? I am guessing possibly Mac
OS/X but not quite sure. What version of the OS? The version you are
using is definitely many years off. We are up to 1.02.000 of GNUBG. The
date of Dec 8 2013 suggests you built this yourself?

This X Windows error seems like one you might see on some older OS/X
systems running older GNUBG code. I'll need to have the few questions
answered above before I proceed.
