I cannot be totally sure it is the eventviewer widget, but I only see this when
the wiget is active and drawing.

[pmuldoon@localhost frysk_bin]$ ./frysk-gui/frysk/gui/FryskGui 
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
The program 'Frysk' 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 7745910 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
  (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.)
