Hi again, So libX11 1.8.1 introduced a constructor to call XInitThreads(3) unconditionnaly at library load time, to make sure all multithreaded X applications would have correct locks around Xlib calls.
Of course this behaviour change also exposes some bugs in existing code. A first one was found and fixed in xfsettingsd, the XFCE settings daemon. There is a 2nd one in x11/fvwm2 and x11/fvwm3 which is more complex to fix. I've sent patches to ports@ but I'm not confident that they are correct. So I propose that for OpenBSD 7.2 this change gets reverted in libX11. This is done with the patch below. Apply in /usr/xenocara/lib/libX11 and rebuild xenocara, following instructions in release(8). Ok, comments ?
