Fedor 9 X Window System error:

[vohnmaxwell bellsouth net]

Has anyone encountered:

The program 'recorder' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
  (Details: serial 214 error_code 15 request_code 45 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.)

I have had this happen on a couple of other applications.

I am also curious if this is preventing my Gnome applications from running?  They seem to just flash and disappear.
