Title:
  apps wont open due to maximum clients reached error

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  I start my computer, work on it, go to sleep, wake up and after some
  time I can't start any app on it. If I run the app from a still open
  console (or a newly opened after closing one or two apps) I get errors
  like the following:

  Maximum number of clients reached/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: GtkWarning: could not open display
    warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
  Maximum number of clients reachedTraceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 44, in <module>
      gtk.init_check()
  RuntimeError: could not open display

  Running Ubuntu 10.04.

  This bug is similar to what was reported in #263211.

  In the meanwhile until it is fixed: Is there any way (besides
  disabling the screensaver) to avoid this? Like manually removing the
  pixmaps/<unknown>'s from X?
