[xmonad] system-config-lvm crashes in xmonad, not in metacity

[intrigeri]

Hello,

I’m using xmonad built from Darcs around 20080701, with
libghc6-x11-dev 1.4.1-1 from Debian Lenny.

Running system-config-lvm (Debian package 1.4.1-1) from a terminal
(either as a non-privileged user or using gksudo) opens
a system-config-lvm window, a dialog box making me wait a bit while
« Reloading LVM. Please wait. », then briefly displays what seems to
be the program main window, then crashes and the window disappears.

This has been filed as a Debian bug against system-config-lvm, and
then closed, since I this crash was not reproducible when using
Gnome/Metacity instead of xmonad : http://bugs.debian.org/488512

Here is the output on the console :

The program 'system-config-lvm.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 4910 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)

Could this be a xmonad bug ?
