When I updated libX11 to 1.1 (built with the XCB backend), xcompmgr started to crash with the following assertion failure: xcb_io.c:178: process_responses: Assertion `!wait_for_first_event || dpy->head' failed. I guess libX11 is to blame here, since it worked with libX11 1.0.3.
Where were you before we released? ;-) We'll look at this after getting some sleep. Thanks for the report.
We believe we've fixed this bug in git. Would you re-test? You can get the patch we applied here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/lib/libX11.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c6a0b0f18ed1242eeb908f5cf767ab8381edd456 Thanks again for the bug report.
Confirmed; with that commit, I cannot reproduce the assertion failure anymore :)

(disclaimer, using nvidia driver (9742)) I'm not exactly sure this change is my problem, but when i upgraded to libX11 1.1.1 from 1.1, my computer started hanging whenever i launched tvtime. My first response was to remove the tv card, but that didn't help. It's also possible that playing normal videos would have had the same result but i didn't think to try that before i realized i had updated libX11 recently. (and i don't have the opportunity to potentially crash my computer right now so i can't try again). The only other change was not reading a free'd pointer, and i don't think that helps with not freezing the server... Using xorg 1.1.2 (-r2 gentoo) on 2600+ 32-bit amd.
