Has anyone had any issues like this with X ?

X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)

What are you doing when you get the error? Are you by any chance using X over ssh? A little googling found this: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/LinuxChangesAugust2005

From the link: "This is a result of the openssh upgrade, which adds some security measures to X11 forwarding. The solution to ridding yourself of these error messages is to add the line

ForwardX11Trusted yes

to your ~/.ssh/config file. X applications will then forward just fine. If you still have trouble, make sure you don't have an inadvertent emacs alias to emacs -nw, and if that doesn't work, use the -Y flag to ssh."
