Untracked XInitThreads bug?

[eXpl0it3r]

[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
application: ../../src/xcb_io.c:178: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.

The problem didn't occur on my system (I don't use Linux very often), so I can't give much more information, but there have been several topics about this on the forum, but I couldn't find any issue on GitHub an due to the fact that a friend of mine ran into the problem again it seems like it hasn't been fixed.

Other topics:

The 'fix' of including xlib and calling XInitThreads doesn't seem like a solution to me...
So has this been fixed before? Or can't it be fixed?
Shall I open a ticket on GitHub?

Nop, I'll switch to XCB so that will fix it (and this one is in the task tracker).

Hi.

Sorry for resurrecting an old topic.

I tried to search for an issue which tracks this, but was unable to locate one. Do you have a reference to the task tracker for this issue?

I recently starting using SFML and am enjoying it very much. Basically the only issue I've had so far is this one. Just for the record, I'm able to reproduce the issue using SFML version 2.1.0.

Cheers /u
