Bug Description
[Impact]
* FreeCAD crashes at startup in Ubuntu 18.04.
* Backporting the proposed fix will prevent FreeCAD from crashing.
* The proposed upload will fix the issue by providing an environment variable in the freecad.desktop file. This environment variable will set LIBGL_DRI3_
[Test Case]
* On Ubuntu 18.04 with a system where a video card or some form of graphics acceleration is used, install freecad and run normally.
This is printed at the console:
FreeCAD 0.16, Libs: 0.16R

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.

Abgebrochen
[Regression Potential]
* An environment variable disabling LIBGL_DIR3 is set in the freecad.desktop file. The affected functionality is limited to the FreeCAD process and any child processes.

I can't reproduce this in a VM running the latest bionic daily build. Can you give more information on your setup?
