Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	start up dash

What's wrong:
(~) Meow? dash&
[1] 7209
(~) Meow? X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x4000c0
  Serial number of failed request:  72
  Current serial number in output stream:  72

[1]    Exit 1               dash

What should have happened:
	I should have gotten a menubar!

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man dash


NOTE:  My .Xresources contains the line:
!   DASH DEFAULTS
*menuBar.autoRaise:             False

and I don't use a logout button. 

Several subsequent attempts to use dash were 100% successful, both
starting it in foreground and in background.
