here's a fix for the problem with Tabbed.hs and BadGC/BadDrawable errors. As I said I'm just learning all this X programming so take it as a bug report! Thanks for your kind attention.

This is definitely not a proper fix (as you say), but it may highlight the issue. The problem is that it does this simply by turning off a feature, which is the redrawing of the tabs when the title of the window changes. :( I don't quite buy your explanation of this error--but I'm only about 24 hours ahead of you in my knowledge of X and GContext, so I'm stumped also. I can verify that your patch does remove the error messages, but I just don't understand why there is an error here. David

Still, when XMonad is restarted the messages are still there (correct behaviour?) ... hunk ./Decoration.hs 37 - | thisw == decfor && t == propertyNotify = draw' + | thisw == decfor && t == propertyNotify = return () }
