+ [Test Case]
  
- The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding 
gnome-shell.  This problem was most recently seen with package version 
3.36.1-5ubuntu2, the problem page at 
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/4de3d315d9df1c9699bda54beafeeeea8d52053c 
contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or 
traceback, and individual crash reports.
- If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software 
developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/.
+ None known. The plan is to just continue monitoring crash reports.
+ Still, we are confident this is the fix because:
+ 
+  * The offending source code in libx11 tells us it is :) and
+  * The crash only started in Ubuntu with gnome-shell 3.34, which is the
+    exact release in which XInitThreads was removed from mutter.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Low. We add a single function call that tells libX11 to enable thread
+ safety. This same function call is one we had in bionic, cosmic and
+ disco.
