qiv does not work

[stan]

When I try to eun qiv on my Kubuntu 6.10 machine I get:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 116 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0

This happens whether I executing it locally on the machine, or a rmote
machie pointing back to the Kubuntu machine's X server.

Any sugestions, as to how I can fix this?
