Hi again,
So libX11 1.8.1 introduced a constructor to call XInitThreads(3)
unconditionnaly at library load time, to make sure all multithreaded X
applications would have correct locks around Xlib calls.
Of course this behaviour change also exposes some bugs in existing
code. A first one was found and fixed in xfsettingsd, the XFCE
settings daemon. There is a 2nd one in x11/fvwm2 and x11/fvwm3 which
is more complex to fix. I've sent patches to ports@ but I'm not
confident that they are correct.
So I propose that for OpenBSD 7.2 this change gets reverted in
libX11. This is done with the patch below.
Apply in /usr/xenocara/lib/libX11 and rebuild xenocara, following
instructions in release(8).
Ok, comments ?
