Hi Colin,
The export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 did nothing good (or bad) for
me, but the non-xcb version of libx11 did fix all problems I have
seen. Note that on Sept 9th I have sent Bryce and this list a minimal
X11 test program (source binary) to reproduce the problem. It should
help to debug
Dear Bryce,
Thanks for your hard work and the temporary workaround with the non-xcb
libx11.
Unfortunately the problem is real and hurting and needs a proper fix for
Hardy. I have come across a number of trusted old applications which
fail in a similar way when running with the xcb based libx11
Please note that the problem is triggered in stable applications which
have been running correctly for many years on many platforms including
*BSD, Solaris and Linux. The problem is clearly not in the application,
but in XCB. One example of a non-fatal fault in Desktop CYBER is below:
Locking
This bug affects a large number of programs written using xlib. Why is
the status won't fix?
Thanks
Tom
