[Xcb] Bug#481745: libxcb: sloppy locking needs to be on by default

Package: libxcb
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: important

I believe sloppy locking should be turned on by default.  There are
still some apps which are broken by this, and which are unlikely to get
fixed.  The ones that could have probably been fixed by now anyway.
Fedora ships with
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/libxcb/libxcb-1.1-sloppy-lock.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto
and Ubuntu has
http://patches.ubuntu.com/libx/libxcb/extracted/100_sloppy_lock.diff

I don't care which one is chosen, but I'd like to update the libx11
package for lenny and I don't think I can do that with sloppy locking
off.

Cheers,
Julien
