BadPixmap when requesting a color by name.

Hi,

I have been reading very many locations about similar problems
but without any result. So I'm trying here now.

OK, we have a "getPixelByName" method and in most
cases this is working. Now, inside one dialog I get several
times the "BadPixmap" message when requesting the
Pixel value for "white" or "black".

I don't see why. The widget I'm using to request for the color
is a XmText widget and I have created it before with XmCreateText.
The error handler yells and the callstack shows the XAllocNamedColor
calling the error handler (at least).

However the correct color is set!
And of course I don't want to hide the message...

Could some help please?

kindly
Thomas

First, BadPixmap has nothing to do with color allocation. Most likely a
previous call is failing. Have you tried --sync on the command line?

OK, I can see the difference when using --sync running the application
as normal.
How do I have to pass the --sync when using a debugger like DDD or
insight?
(there the option looks like as it has not been passed also the
callstack is
showing the same as before)

run --sync

should work in the debugger.
