Public bug reported:
I am writing a PyGTK application which involves a vte Terminal. I use a
forkpty() call to launch a child process in the terminal. When the
child process runs a raw_input(), it dies with the message:
python: ../../src/xcb_io.c:242: process_responses: Assertion `(((long)
(dpy->last_request_read) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed.
(Actually, the child process seems to survive until there is either a
keystroke or mouse movement over the terminal.) The parent process
survives. This behavior is on an up-to-date Karmic install. On Jaunty,
this error does not occur. The attached file provides a test-case
program.
This is the same error message reported in bug #419501. I've reported
separately, as it is triggered in quite different circumstances. But if
it is the same, please mark this as a duplicate.
[Aside - the submission page asked me to submit this using `ubuntu-bug
-p libxcb`. But that failed in two ways: First, it warns that -p is
deprecated. Second, it tells me "Package libxcb does not exist", and
quits.]
