Since you are already building awesome yourself, could you apply the attached
patch and show us the new output from where you did "startx"? Please also
include the output from "xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep opcode" (or
"DISPLAY=:0 xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep opcode", if you can't run this from
a terminal inside the X11 server).
Also, which cairo version do you have?
Cheers,
Uli
P.S.: Nope, not a single clue about what is going on.

Subject: [PATCH] xerror: Print numeric infos about the error
xcb_event_get_{request,error}_label() return NULL for non-core requests and
error codes. Obviously, that's not really helpful at all, so also print the
numeric information about what failed.
