[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] BadWindow error when calling hildon_program_add_window?

[From: Braimah, AL (Adam)]

I hadn't even heard of Matchbox until you mentioned it; I ran it within
Scratchbox ("/usr/bin/matchbox-window-manager &") and then tried my
program but the same error occurred. Did I miss something? I should
mention that I'm using Xephyr as my display too.
Thanks,
Adam

Can you try running the matchbox window manager before starting the
program?

I filled #904

Thanks,
