this is the result of running from terminal
google-earth-pro --sync
The program 'googleearth-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXBadContextTag'.
(Details: serial 4233 error_code 162 request_code 151 minor_code 16)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
