In Debian, synergy has been working fine up until we get Xlib-XCB into unstable/testing; it still worked fine even with kernel 2.6.24. So, it seems the combination of the newer kernel and Xlib was the catalyst.

Still, I can confirm that Mike Stroyan's patch seems to clear everything up. I got confused between his original and updated patches, and re-did some of the fixes in his update, and also fixed a small build issue. But, after all that, I'm seeing synergyc work without hangups, and with no unusual load.

I've attached my version of his patch. You can also get the Debian package source at my Bazaar tree on bzr.licquia.org, and build what will likely be synergy 1.3.1-4 for Debian.
