 In the log above, the bug is pretty obvious. There is locking before
 around the library's init functions, and inside it.
 
 Owen, how do you propose we go about escalating this bug to the X people?

+Looking at the source code for the X input module:
+http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/lib/Xi/XListDev.c?rev=3.5&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
+
+XListInputDevices seems to call LockDisplay a tiny bit too early:
+1) _XiCheckExtInit will lock the display by itself
+2) if the _XiCheckExtInit fails, the display isn't unlocked
+
+I suggest moving the LockDisplay call until after the _XiCheckExtInit
+call. Owen, can you see if that makes sense?
+
+If you think that's a good resolution to the problem, I'll close this
+bug and open a new bug with Red Hat and Debian to push the fix upstream.
