Crash on launch (Ubuntu 14.04)

[Paludan]

I installed Final Term using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm.git
cd finalterm/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

However when I launch it it crashes and gives me the following error message:

(finalterm:10703): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'finalterm' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 410 error_code 3 request_code 3 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
(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.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

How can I fix this?

Could be a GPU driver issue. I'm afraid I do not have a better guess given the information available.

Hi, I have a similar error on Fedora 21:
