Package: libxcb
Version: 1.0-3

In libxcb 1.0-1.2 there was a patch which allowed many broken
applications (e.g. java) to run with newer libxcb:

        - - -
        libxcb (1.0-1.2) experimental; urgency=low
        
          * Add 100_sloppy_lock.diff which allows a workaround for programs that throw
            lock errors. You can set the environment variable "LIBXCB_SLOPPY_LOCK"
            when you run that program and xcb won't exit when it generates a locking
            error. This will allow java to run.

For some reason this rather useful patch is missing from libxcb 1.0.3,
which is currently in unstable.
