This is my response to Marius from earlier today. I should have sent it to the list as well.

This was done in Fedora 8, but it I'm guessing similar commands in the other distros that now use libxcb will also work.
BTW, I tried upgrading to libxcb-1.1 and using the sloppy_lock variable that fixes some other programs with this error but it did not work for me.
