synergy needs the LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK environment variable

[Paul Wagland]

Binary package hint: synergy

when running as:
  LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true synergys -f

then whenever I go over my VMWare window I get the following stacktraces:

Locking assertion failure. Backtrace:
#0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0x7fa751a8597c]
#1 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0(xcb_xlib_lock+0x15) [0x7fa751a85a15]

Throwing these numbers into gdb gives:
#5 0x430798: file CXWindowsScreen.cpp, line 1872.
#6 0x431277: file CXWindowsScreen.cpp, line 1274.

#10 0x40734e: file synergys.cpp, line 765.
#11 0x40a011: file synergys.cpp, line 1290.

I believe that this might be the same issue as bug 88906, although that has no trace so I cannot be sure.

Looks like this is triaged against the upstream task, although there doesn't seem to have been any updates there.
