Speaking of which, several months ago a slightly newer version of KDE
Frameworks5 (on Debian Testing) fixed the issue for me.  At the time I
tried to figure out which updated library fixed the issue, but couldn't
narrow it down in the limited time I had.

I don't know the clusterssh code base, nor am I more than passingly
familiar with a really old version of the X11 protocol.  But I do
question if it would be wise to protect against "stupid" clients.  There
is no telling how many stupid/smart clients are using such esoteric,
asynchronous features.
