Emacs crashes at run on Elementary OS - Freya, based on Ubuntu 14.04. This was my time using it, so i installed it and it crashed in my face
Here's the log from ~/.xsession-errors:
X protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) on protocol request 140
When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
