in my experience, this indicates that you've left out one of the twelve
parameters to XCreateWindow().  the server fails to detect the error until
you try to do something complicated (like map it).  it may also be an illegal
value in the XSetWindowAttributes struct.

i have not yet converted to X11R2, but it appears from the above that kudos
are due the implementors.  R1 forced me to grep through .h files to map
magic protocol request numbers to names.  that's apparently no longer true.
