Hi!

> What is the trick to solve this when this error message comes up ?

Oh my, what a mess:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/498652/does-x-window-have-a-maximum-number-limit-on-clients

says: Yes, there's a limit, and it's a Xorg startup option.

The limit is a compile time limit in

x11-servers/xorg-server/work/xorg-server-1.18.4/include/misc.h

#define MAXCLIENTS     512
#define LIMITCLIENTS   256     /* Must be a power of 2 and <= MAXCLIENTS */

Changing MAXCLIENTS and LIMITCLIENTS to some other value like 2048
seems to be possible, but needs an Xorg restart.

TODO: test it, submit PR to increase values.
