Comment 191 for bug 185311

We had been anticipating a fix for this issue in time for intrepid from libxcb upstream, but none was forthcoming. We did not have time during intrepid to explore the option of de-enabling xcb in libx11 (it would require changes to compiz and other things that now require it).

This bug has gotten long and difficult to follow, but we finally have some hard data in comments #169, #171, #181 on the remaining issues. It will require some additional analysis to determine if these bugs can be individually addressed or would only be fixed by a libxcb revert. I'll leave this bug open (but the intrepid task closed) in case of the latter, but if the former looks realistic we should break those bugs out into separate bugs so we can close this one.
