[Strontium <strntydog@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was on the js-reynaud legacy nightly ppa (Ubuntu 18.04), and things 
were fine a few days ago.  But i just tried to run kicad and it was 
crashing.
So, i uninstalled everything from legacy nightly and installed the ppa 
js-reynaud/kicad-5  but for some reason if i try and open a schematic OR 
a pcb, it crashes with a segfault also:

Trying to open a schematic:
> steven@steven-ge40:~$ kicad
> The program 'kicad' received an X Window System error.
> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
> The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
>   (Details: serial 8548 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24)
>   (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.)
> Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Anyone else seen this???  I have no idea what's going on.
