New issue 448 by damian.o... at gmail.com: Applications crash with  
message 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' in specific  
workspace
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=448

I get this error randomly, if I try to open 2 windows in a specific  
workspace, I get as an error:

The program 'xxx' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
   (Details: serial 2697 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.)

I don't have the problem in other workspaces.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Sadly this error occurs randomly. Here are the steps that caused the last  
error.
1. Open evince document viewer in workspace 2.
2. Open a new evince window (using Ctrl+n)
3. Try to resize the masterpane. Evince will crash, and from this point  
onwards it is not possible to have two windows at the same time in  
workspace 2.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
