Fixing issue 90094 leaves us with some systems on which soffice cannot start
anymore. This is due to a bug in the X11 libraries which deadlock on their own
mutex; a behaviour which is enabled by calling XInitThreads to make the X11
libraries thread safe. The latter is necessary since nowadays there are
concurring threads (e.g. with java extensions) which access X11 outside our
control, so our own locking mechanism that ensured only one thread at a time can
access X11 is now incomplete.

This X11 bug was fixed in newer versions of the X11 libraries. For systems that
show this X11 deadlock we should however add a method to disable calling
XInitThreads, therefore having the same behavior as before 3.0.
