Package: ace-of-penguins
Version: 1.5~rc2-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

ace-merlin fails with the following error on start:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
   Major opcode of failed request:  73 (X_GetImage)
   Serial number of failed request:  25
   Current serial number in output stream:  25

I think I've managed to trace the issue to a race condition at the call 
to XGetImage on line 819 of lib/xwin.c. If I add a delay (sleep(1);) 
before that call the game launches and works.
