have a new SGI O2 workstation. When I try to open a graphics window, or
even inquire about the X device, I get something like this:

IDL Version 5.0.2 (IRIX mipseb). Research Systems, Inc.

IDL> help, /device

I can open an IDL Help window, and even a widget window, but a graphics
window always generates X windows protocol errors, usually

% X windows protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter).


What do I have configured wrong?

Thanks, Ken Bowman
