This is a well known GTK bug.
Could you check amaya scripts (/usr/bin/amaya
or /usr/share/applications/amaya.desktop). They must set the env
variables like that:

Exec=env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
G_SLICE=always-malloc /usr/lib/Amaya/wx/bin/amaya_bin %u

I guess the last Amaya 10.0.1 version should have that bug fix.
