The errors are not from XWin but from startx or a x client.

This happens sometimes if the drawing surface is loast because of a 
fullscreen app, the screensaver or something else which steals the
drawing surface from X.

icon and deleting the window. Sometimes the X11 window is deleted before
the windows frame is removed and updating the windows frame references 
the old window.
