If Chromium works in it Electron should probably support it too, but I don't think anyone would actually look into it.

[Weuxel]

Yeah, Chromium works without problems, in fact Atom is the first Application i encountered that does not.
Would be sad if noone would look into it.

Closing due to abandonment.

This issue still has reasonably recent activity: microsoft/vscode#3451
I was able to hack around this problem using tips in that issue, but modifying Xlibs is a little on the scary side.

What does "abandonment" mean? This is listed as the upstream issue for both the Atom and VS Code editors, two fundamentally important parts of Atom Shell's...err, Electron's history.

Why is this issue abandoned?

[gabefair]

This should really be reopened.

[jblee123]

Does "Closing due to abandonment" mean, " We're choosing to abandon this because we don't care," or "It looks the community doesn't care,"? Because if it's the latter, I think people still obviously care. Hacking a binary file isn't a quality solution (and that only worked once for me -- I'm now back to getting the same error even with the hacked file).

(Note that ArcticaProject/nx-libs#729 strongly suggests this occurs due to servers (that are acting as X) not containing an old fix from 2007)

The Electron version reported on this issue is no longer supported. See our supported versions documentation.

If you're still experiencing this issue on a supported version, please open a new issue with an updated repro - a Fiddle is very appreciated.

Electron has a large issues backlog. To help our team prioritize, we're closing older issues and asking for new issues with updated repro steps if it affects a supported version. This helps sort what issues are still relevant and helps us fix them more quickly.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
