Xlib: connection to "unix:0.0" refused by server Xlib: yellowWunix:0.0H The last message of the three is always some different garbage. In this case, the messages came from xload, but I see them from various clients. Normally, all these applications work fine, and about 50% of the time X comes up fine for me. I start up 11 clients immediately on startup, as the gwm is getting going. This loads the machine down a bit. But what could make the server tell the client that it is Rev 0??? I also get some sporadic toolkit messages along the same lines, in the same conditions: X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display etc. Any ideas? I've sent this both to xpert and gwm-bugs, in case it's some kind of window manager interaction.
