Bug#495498: xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed.

[Carlo Wood]

The attached patch fixed the problem for me.
This is a "hack" though, I'm not saying it's the final fix.
It's definitely a good work around for on debian though,
and maybe you will decide that it's the right thing to do,
even.

I got the idea reading Xlib's documentation when I saw
this page:
