The new version has also some problems with "gkimos". There is an error:

PHP Formatted Code
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

  Major opcode of failed request:53(X_CreatePixmap)

  Resource id in failed request:0x3c00036

  Serial number of failed request:24383
Current serial number in output stream:24414

For some plots, the command is able to block the xgterm completely.

This is an X11 error related to the XGterm and has nothing to do with the IRAF version. Which binary are you using (linux or mac)?

I use Debian Linux last version.
Yes, the error is in X but is caused by xgterm and I do not know who is able to correct it. Isn't the xgterm a part of IRAF?

With v2.16.1 the XGterm binary is part of the core installation. On Linux systems we distribute a statically linked version since it is becoming more common that newer linux distros don't default to install 32-bit compatability libs. This is an old binary (newer GCC versions don't compile statically without complaining about glibc functions that should be dynamic) and may not be playing nice with the X server.

If you did a personal installation you can simply delete $HOME/.iraf/bin/xgterm (and 'ximtool') to go back to using the xgterm binary you previously had installed. You can also get X11IRAF linux binaries from

ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/x11iraf/x11iraf-v2.0BETA-bin.linux.tar.gz

Note the personal install will modify your $PATH to put $HOME/.iraf/bin ahead of other directories, so if you install new binaries you should replace the versions in $iraf/vendor/x11iraf/bin.linux to be sure you're using the right one.

I got a similar error message from mac (OS X 10.8.x)
My imac can't get a coordinates from DS9 when I display images to ds9 from iraf
while there is no problem when images were opened from ds9 menu bar.

How can I delete the xgterm binary in mac?

You can delete/rename the binaries in $iraf/vendor/x11iraf/bin.linux (and/or bin.macintel) and your path should pick up the previous binary you were using. A BadDrawable error may indicate you're not using a compatible X visual (e.g. a 16-bit default for some reason), you can use the 'xdpyinfo' command to verify what your default visual us. XGterm/XImtool do support 24- and 32-bit visuals.

xdpyinfo prints next:
visual:
visual id: 0x139
class: TrueColor
depth: 15 planes
available colormap entries: 32 per subfield
red, green, blue masks: 0x7c00, 0x3e0, 0x1f
significant bits in color specification: 5 bits

I'm using imt4096 setting to display 2048x4096 images.
but if an image is called from iraf display task, ds9 displays it with wrong coordinates.
Y pixels are good, but ds9 shows x pixels up to more than 3000 pixel.
Iraf get this wrong coordinates and when I use imexam task, iraf give me an information for this wrong coordinates.
Of course, if I hit s or r on the pixels higher than 2048, irafterm answers "Warning: Pixels out of bounds".
There is no such a problem is an image is called using menu bar of ds9.

I tested with imt2048 by modifying login.cl, and in this case there is no problem in X pixel,
but iraf get wrong Y pixel from ds9.

I tried several re-installs of iraf, xgterm, and ds9, but the problem can not be fixed.

I tried to install both 32-bit and 64-bit iraf.
also I tried to install x11iraf-v2.0BETA-bin.macintel.tar.gz for xgterm.

What's wrong in my installation?
I'm using iMac with OS X 10.8.5.
I bought this only a week ago.
