Compiling 1.3 or CVS

I've been trying now for three days to get 1.3 to work. When I compile the latest source it seems to work fine. But when I run the gimp-1.3 it just exits with the message:

The program 'gimp-1.3' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 46 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20) (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.)

With a lot of tweeking I managed to compile the CVS version and got the same result.

Can anybody help?

This is unlikely a GIMP problem. It looks like either your GTK+ or X11 installation is screwed up or your X-server is buggy. Perhaps your GTK+ or X11 headers don't match the libraries that are used to link The GIMP.
