X errors

[Robert Casey]

I get the following errors when I exit an X session. I am running a 
Dell PowerEdge 4600 server with Red Hat 7.3 and the original kernel 
as installed by Dell.

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to 'GtkOptionMenu'

Gtk- CRITICAL **: file gtkoptionmenu.c: line 248 
(gtk_option_menu_set_history): assertion 'option_menu != NULL' failed

waiting for X server to shut down Gdk-ERROR **: fatal IO error 104 
(Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

The server boots into run level 3 and after logging in I type startx 
& to get the default gnome desktop. I don't know if this is a gnome 
problem or an X problem. I have support with Dell and they said I 
probably need some updates, possibly including the kernel. I'm leery 
about upgrading the kernel because this server has several SCSI 
cards, one of which has a Powervault set of disk drives set up as 
raid 5, and I don't want to screw that up. Since this system will 
eventually be set up so no one can log into it I don't know how far I 
should go to solve the problem. Maybe I should change the default 
window manager to KDE and see what happens.
