Anyone using xmonad + vim on sid?
If I start gvim in a tiled terminal window it locks up and the following
messages appear in the terminal:
------------------------------------------------
E852: The child process failed to start the GUI
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has
not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion
`!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT
Press ENTER or type command to continueVim: Finished.
-----------------------------------------------------------
If I start gvim from a fullscreen terminal (apart from the first one I
open) it works correctly. As a workround I've aliased gvim to gvim -f.
This happens in two machines running Sid. It does not happen in another
running Squeeze.
I have asked about it on the vim and xmonad mailing lists but no result;
at least one person says he cannot reproduce the error. I've reported it
as a Debian bug but so far have only had a routine acknowledgement.
If there is anyone else using this setup, could they please see if they
can reproduce it?
