Me too. I've done a lot of work on xosd (16 patches so far) and I've
been able to get rid of XInitThread(), but now I've got a very anoying
bug: Sometimes nothing is displayed and sometime the display is broken.
Until I've fixed that bug, I'll not upload a new package. I hope to fix
it this week.
What make this bug hard to fix is the fact, that understanding what
happens when is not so easy, so I'm restructuring a lot of things to
make it clearer.
