[Bug 220628] Re: firefox-3.0b5 received an X Window System error: 'BadIDChoice'

[R. Drew Davis]

It happened to me now and again on firefox on Iwhat I believe to be an
up to date Intrepid Ibex installation.   I have no idea how to reproduce
the problem.    I wasn't even working in the firefox window when that
window crashed.   I'd had enough mysterious firefox crashes that I'd
started firefox from a term window command line so I could see any
messages.

The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
  (Details: serial 26264659 error_code 14 request_code 152 minor_code 4)
  (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.)

I tend to have many tabs open in my firefox window at any given time.
I also have more than a few plugins in use:
