The error is:
(a.out:25566): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'a.out' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 131 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Adding:
gdk_error_trap_push(); ... gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored();
around the XGetWindowProperty() fixes the problem
