Afaik the error message came from the X server, so yes, not a pgadmin3
parameter.
It said sth. like:
When an X application crashes, the error message is asynchron, and therefore
usually not shows the real cause of the problem. When you want to run the
application from within gdb, then use --sync, to get the right backtrace.
The --sync is I think automatically added to each X application, from the X
server, or window manager, whoever there is responsible.
When I get the error again, then I cut 'n past the output in here, I got
this only once.
