Talking about locking assertions: Did anyone see my two bug reports?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8581
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8582

The first one might be identical with Magnus report, but the second one 
contains two other issues I found in XFixes and in libX11.

However this makes me wonder how many locking issues there are remaining that 
no one has found until now.

Cheers,
Lars
