Review: When certain notices arrive, I get the error message
zwgc: error in XParseColor "<geometry-spec>": using default color
where <geometry-spec> is the geometry of the notice that caused the
error. (I'm not sure of the exactly wording of the message, but what
I said is close.) The bug only shows up with login/logout notices and
Discuss notifications (both of which use $default, although I'm not
sure if that's the problem).
Here's the new information: It appears that if I kill the initial
zwgc and run a new one, I do not get the error messages. I'm not 100%
sure about this (after all, it could happen at any moment), but so far
it seems not to have.
