In what version of X Window System do you run diopter... I try to debug 
to see where the error is occuring and discovery that it's occurrin 
after the calls to XCreateColormap, XCreateWindow and 
XShapeCombineRectangles and Segementation fault is being emitte when a 
call to XRenderCreatePicture is made, but I don't know mucho about the 
internals of X and can't imagine where the error can be.

I search for the erros that is printed by X, but I don't find anything, 
can anyone give me any tip of what this error message is saying???

thanks,
Carlos.
