[xcrysden] BadWindow error when launching newly installed xcrysden

[Dan Mazur]

Hello,

I have compiled the source distribution of xcrysden v 1.5.60 on CentOS 6.3
and the compilation and installation appears to proceed without errors.

When I run xcrysden, it briefly opens an X11 splash window, but then
crashes with the following messages:

$ xcrysden

I do not have problems with other OpenGL or X11 programs. I first tried
linking against libraries (including mesa) on the system, but got this
error. Then, I tried downloading and compiling the external libraries by
activating the required flags in Make.sys. However, I again got the above
error.

I am not sure of the reason for the error. If someone can help me to debug
the issue and complete my installation of xcrysden, it would be appreciated.
