The MIT-SHM extension lets you create XImages whose data is on a
shared memory segment, thus making them very fast as there is no
need to transfer them between client<->server (if they are running on
the same machine, of course).

What you are getting is not an error.  It's just an annoying warning
from Gdk.  I think it should be removed soon.
