If I start gvim in a tiled terminal window it locks up and the following messages appear in the terminal:
------------------------------------------------ E852: The child process failed to start the GUI [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed. Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Press ENTER or type command to continueVim: Finished. ----------------------------------------------------------- If I start gvim from a fullscreen terminal (apart from the first one I open) it works correctly. As a workround I've aliased gvim to gvim -f. This happens in two machines running Sid. It does not happen in another running Squeeze. I have asked about it on the vim and xmonad mailing lists but no result; at least one person says he cannot reproduce the error. I've reported it as a Debian bug but so far have only had a routine acknowledgement. If there is anyone else using this setup, could they please see if they can reproduce it?
