XIO: fatal IO error

Hello!

I’m hitting the following error after an upgrade of the X libraries[*]:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":9.0"
      after 2741 requests (2741 known processed) with 4 events remaining.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is reproducible: launch Geeqie, and watch Ratpoison crash with the
above error on exit of Geeqie.

I looked through xtrace what’s going on, and here’s the (hopefully)
relevant part:

Any idea what’s going on, or hints on how to debug this?

Thanks,
