[xcrysden] BadWindow error when launching newly installed xcrysden

[Dan Mazur]

Hello,

I am still not able to install this package. I have tried linking instead
with a different OpenGL library, but I get the same results. If anyone can
offer any advice on how to resolve the error, it would be much appreciated.
