  Earlier, ircombine would return an X error when -destination active was used
on a remote display. The decision was made to just make illegal the
combination of -destination active and -target.

  Could you send me an example of how you were using the script, so that
possibly ircombine can be adjusted to improve its error checking.

  This seems like the cleaner solution for now.
