The program 'parole' received an X Window System error
I noticed Parole would sometimes quit immediately after opening a file. To learn more, I tried to reproduce it through the terminal. Here's the log:
$ parole some_file.mp4
(parole:20746): Gdk-WARNING **: 16:16:52.997: The program 'parole' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 1295 error_code 9 request_code 139 (RENDER) minor_code 4)
(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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

My workaround: try it again. It usually works the next time I open the same file.
What should I do next?
