That wouldn't be sufficient, off the top of my head there's library-global state that gets set up in XInitThreads too and none of the display-level locking will work without it. Again, I proposed a workaround that preserves the thread-safety guarantee I need, and wrote the patch implementing it. Sure would be nice if someone tested it. - ajax
