In Gambas 3, the IDE uses the gb.desktop component that read the X11 root 
window properties to get the desktop size.

This error means that the X11 root window property that describes the 
dimensions of desktops (you can have more than one if you have virtual 
desktops) is not defined.

This property is set by the X11 window manager.

Can you try to run a terminal instead of Gambas, and send me the output 
of "xprop -root"? This way I will know which properties are defined.
