Description:
It seems their is an old issue with X Window System error.
Here it don't trigger with x86 version, but with x86_64 it happen under fr_FR.UTF-8 locale on MageiaLinux, confirmed on mandriva 2010.1 too and other distribution too (seen on internet/forums).
The bug seems to be triggered by some numeric computation depending on LC_NUMERIC and LANG in the workbench startup process that makes it crash.
A workaround seems available with locale :

It seems to be enough to unset :
LANG
LC_NUMERIC
Then mysql workbench stop crashing.
Without (crash) :

The program 'mysql-workbench-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 258 error_code 16 request_code 135 minor_code 17)
(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.)

Plz fix asap.
The problem seems to not trigger on x86 version, but only on x86_64 version here on
Mandriva Linux 64 2010.1 (compiled from source).
How to repeat:
Install a mandriva linux 2010.1
set french locale (fr_FR.UTF-8)
build from source
install
run
it crash
Suggested fix:
Fix the computation somewhere that makes it crash. It is a recurrent problem since a lot of version, that's the first time i find from where it may comes.
