Are you sure with that fix? I applied it and did a local rebuild, and now pdmenu segfaults on any keypress after starting. I don't really call that an improvment. :) Just to be sure I did it properly, I dumped your patch into debian/patches/060_eliminate-hang-in-X11 and added it to the series file, the rebuild did happen in a current sid chroot.
