Public bug reported:

I am writing a PyGTK application which involves a vte Terminal.  I use a
forkpty() call to launch a child process in the terminal.  When the
child process runs a raw_input(), it dies with the message:

python: ../../src/xcb_io.c:242: process_responses: Assertion `(((long)
(dpy->last_request_read) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed.

(Actually, the child process seems to survive until there is either a
keystroke or mouse movement over the terminal.)  The parent process
survives.  This behavior is on an up-to-date Karmic install.  On Jaunty,
this error does not occur.  The attached file provides a test-case
program.

This is the same error message reported in bug #419501.  I've reported
separately, as it is triggered in quite different circumstances.  But if
it is the same, please mark this as a duplicate.

[Aside - the submission page asked me to submit this using `ubuntu-bug
-p libxcb`.  But that failed in two ways: First, it warns that -p is
deprecated.  Second, it tells me "Package libxcb does not exist", and
quits.]
