Have you tried using a debugger to determine from *where* this message
is being issued? I realize that trapping X errors is a little
problematic since X uses its own error handlers. Insert the following
code right after your fl_initialize() call:
XSetErrorHandler( my_handler );
and then create a function called my_handler (obviously, you can call
it anything you wish):
int my_handler( Display *display, XErrorEvent *xerror_event )
{
fprintf( stderr, "I lose!\n" );
}
Now compile and link. Fire up your debugger and load your application
program. Set a breakpoint at my_handler in whatever way is
appropriate to your debugger (in gdb and dbx it would be 'break
my_handler), then run the program in -sync mode.
When the error occurs, X will vector to the installed error handler
rather than its own internal handler and your program will halt
execution and return control to the debugger. Get a traceback with
the 'where' command (if you're using gdb -- I forget what the command
is in dbx). Examine the traceback to see exactly where the error is
occuring. Is it due to some function call you're making from a
callback? Is it due to something you're doing in the initialization
of XForms?
How many forms are you creating? What kind of objects are in the form(s)?
Can you reduce the problem to a minimal subset of your code?
Without complete information this is very difficult to debug.

This means your mapping color 20,19,19 with XForms index 1006. Most
(but not all) colormapped displays only support 256 simultaneous
colors. Do you get any messages about "ColormapFull"? You may only
get one.

I don't know of any other than if you try to deactivate a NULL form
(pass fl_deactivate_form() a NULL pointer).
Deactivated forms should ignore all XForms events other than FL_DRAW.
They need to handle those in order to deal with X Expose events and
internally generated redraws. Mouse clicks, etc., should be tossed on
the floor.
Hope this helps but you're going to have to try to reduce the problems
to something manageable. You need to work on one problem at a time.
