 *
 * Results:
 *	The return value is a token identifying the handler; it must be passed
 *	to Tk_DeleteErrorHandler to delete the handler.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *	If an X error occurs that matches the error, request, and minor
 *	arguments, then errorProc will be invoked. ErrorProc should have the
 *	following structure:
 *
 *	int
 *	errorProc(caddr_t clientData, XErrorEvent *errorEventPtr) {
 *	}
 *
 *	The clientData argument will be the same as the clientData argument to
 *	this procedure, and errorEvent will describe the error. If errorProc
 *	returns 0, it means that it completely "handled" the error: no further
 *	processing should be done. If errorProc returns 1, it means that it
 *	didn't know how to deal with the error, so we should look for other
 *	error handlers, or invoke the default error handler if no other
 *	handler returns zero. Handlers are invoked in order of age: youngest
 *	handler first.
 *
 *	Note: errorProc will only be called for errors associated with X
 *	requests made AFTER this call, but BEFORE the handler is deleted by
 *	calling Tk_DeleteErrorHandler.
