[Xcb] Bug#402165: sun-java5-bin: libjavaplugin_oji.so fails with xcb_xlib_unlock assertion after XCB/X11 libx11 upgrade

[tony mancill]

Package: sun-java5-bin
Version: 1.5.0-10-1
Severity: important

After upgrading to libx11 from experimental (see the announcement [0]),
the java plugin fails to work in iceape/mozilla, galeon, or firefox.

It spits this out onto the console when the plugin tries to start:

--
java_vm: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
Could not read ack from child process
Plugin: Java VM process has died.
plugin: java process died due to signal 6
Could not start JavaVM!

VM did not start up properly
--

This type of assertion failure is discussed in the libx11 announcement
[0].  I'm sorry I can't be of more help; for the time-being, I've got to
figure out how to downgrade my libx11 installation... :(

Thanks,
tony
