[Bug 115529] Unable to start firefox in a kde vnc

[fossin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Fiesty Fawn Kubuntu. Start a kde vnc. vncserver :1
The startup file is
$ cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal
desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP
Desktop" &
#twm &
startkde &


-------------------------------------------------end-------------
Then connect to vnc and start firefox
$ firefox --sync

The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 85 error_code 1 request_code 146 minor_code 2)
  (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.)

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
