Comment 91 for bug 185311

I suspect that this bug report is being used for more than one bug. Debian closed debbugs #481745, which identified one of these issues (in relation to Java and perhaps other packages), however other issues remain -- and are still present in intrepid.

In contacting upstream, they are aware of numerous problems similar to this one, which I gather is due to a deficiency in the design of the current Xlib / XCB interactions; they are in the process of re-architecting this code and will have it in the next release of Xlib/XCB.

The plan for Hardy is, if someone can validate the libx11~noxcb package above, to turn off XCB. For Intrepid hopefully this new Xlib/XCB will resolve the issues so we can continue shipping it; I'm re-opening the intrepid task for this work.
