Fails to start: BadAccess for request X_GrabKey

[Johan Kiviniemi]

Binary package hint: awesome

Awesome 2.3.2-1 in intrepid stopped working some time ago. The error message:

W: awesome: xerror:139: fatal error: request code=33, error code=10
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request: 33 (X_GrabKey)
  Serial number of failed request: 367
  Current serial number in output stream: 463

I built awesome 3.0~rc6-1 from Debian experimental (along with its dependency, xcb-util >= 0.2.1). It seems to work, although it prints the following on startup:

W: awesome: xerror:280: fatal error: request=GrabKey, error=BadAccess
W: awesome: xerror:280: fatal error: request=GrabKey, error=BadAccess
W: awesome: xerror:280: fatal error: request=GrabKey, error=BadAccess
W: awesome: xerror:280: fatal error: request=GrabKey, error=BadAccess

Thus, fixing LP #253985 should fix this one as well.
