The X Error message is from the X server, but it's always preceded by
"Unknown type : 2", which is from xforms. I know this because (a) Steve
Lamont said so, and (b) I ran 'strings libforms.a | grep "Unknown type"'.

OK. I've done that, but I don't know quite what to look for. I can't see
anything obviously connected to fl_get_resource(). Could the problem be that
I'm not using fl_get_app_resources() to handle my command line arguments?
It's not easy for me to do that, since the program needs to be able to run in
the absence of an X server, so I need to check arguments before starting
xforms.
Here are some excerpts from the sync output. I don't want to post the
whole thing...

There are a number of occurences of sequences like

Should I worry about these? They also appear when I run on a machine on which
the program works properly. (Or at least I thought it did...)
Later on, the "Unknown type : 2" error occurs in this context:

Followed by more "Unknown window"s, and eventually the X error

Thanks for any suggestions,
