[Xcb] Display freeze hanging in xcb_wait_for_reply

[Christian Linhart]

Hi Daniel,

Since you are using a pretty old version of libxcb, I suggest that you download 
* the newest HEAD from the libxcb-git together with the HEAD from proto:
	http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/proto
	http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb
  and try it with that.

* and/or the newest offical releases of libxcb and proto ( 1.11. )
  and try it with that.

If it works with the newer version, then it is an old bug which was fixed after release 1.9.
If the problem still exists, then we know there is still a problem in the current release.

>From your problem description, the problem may also be in the X-Server.
I suggest that you try to set the DISPLAY to a remote machine with a different X-Server version.
If it works there, this may hint to an X.Server problem.

In any case, a backtrace, as suggested by Uli Schlachter, will be helpful.

Chris
