Well, it looks like XChangeProperty is declared as returning void. So
therefore, you can get rid of the assignment as well as the check on err that
follows the call, since the function doesn't return an error status. The
interesting thing about this is that I have compiled Xgrass on our SGI power
challenge with IRIX 6.2 and I never got this error. The man page for
XChangeProperty does not list a return type so it would default to int which is
probably why I didn't get the error. You must have a different version of X
than I do, my version is X11R6. Oh well, that's life.

Hope this helps.
