There seems to be an issue with the RECORD extension in Xorg.

I will do my best to find a workaround for Xnee (the one I came up with yesterday didn’t work that well   )  and also focus on solving the problem in X.

GNU Xnee 3.03 ready, is X.Org version: 1.6.0??

When executing GNU Xnee under

name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    10402000
X.Org version: 1.4.2

everything is OK. …. but when I run cnee under

name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    10600000
X.Org version: 1.6.0

it crashes. Seems as if there something strange going on in XRecordEnableContextAsync in the latest X.org release.

Will halt Xnee 3.03 for a short while just to make sure.
