Public bug reported:

When any attempt is made to play Live TV, a Recording, or a video,
mythfrontend crashes back to the desktop.  apport does not catch the
crash.   If I run mythtv from the command line, and attempt to play any
recording, I am able to catch the attached error on the command line.  A
copy of this command line output follows:

The program 'mythfrontend.real' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 140 error_code 8 request_code 149 minor_code 13)
  (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.)


This installation worked correctly until a recent block of updates was installed.

The output of mythfrontend --version  is attached.
