If you need Emacs to be able to recover from closing displays, compile
it with the Lucid toolkit instead of GTK.
+** Emacs compiled with GTK crashes at startup due to X protocol error.
+
+This is known to happen on elementary OS GNU/Linux systems.
+
+The error message is:
+
+ 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.
+ Fatal error 6: Aborted
+
+followed by a C backtrace. (Sometimes the offending protocol request
+number is 139.)
+
+The relevant bug report is here:
+
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1355274
+
+A workaround is to set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 in the environment
+before starting Emacs, or run Emacs as root.
+
** Emacs crashes when you try to view a file with complex characters.
For example, the etc/HELLO file (as shown by C-h h).
