I built Emacs 29.1 from source a few months ago and it was working pretty smoothly as far as I could tell -- I was mainly using the elfeed-webkit package -- until I tried to use it today and my Emacs session crashed. I was mainly using it in daemon mode, but evem just running emacs -Q and then M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url RET wikipedia.org results in the error at the end of this post (sorry for the wall of text).

From the EmacsWiki and from reading /etc/PROBLEMS, I tried to use xwidgets-webkit again with SNAP=1 SNAP_NAME=1 SNAP_REVISION=1 emacs -Q, but it results in the same error.

It's probably an issue with my system rather than Emacs -- I'm running this on Manjaro Linux, and emacs-version gives:

GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.38, cairo version 1.17.8) of 2023-08-28

What can I do to fix this?

(Below follows the error message referred to previously:)

Overriding existing handler for signal 10. Set JSC_SIGNAL_FOR_GC if you want WebKit to use a different signal
X protocol error: GLXBadWindow on protocol request 152
Serial no: 9165

When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.

I can confirm this also happens on Arch Linux with latest updates (and emacs 29.x)
