XClearArea() can generate BadMatch , BadValue , and BadWindow errors.
| BadMatch | An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. | 
| BadMatch | Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request. | 
| BadValue | Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error. | 
| BadWindow | A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. |
