[Bug 220628] Re: [MASTER] firefox-3.0b5 received an X Window System error: 'BadIDChoice'

I placed the patch in libxcb1_1.1-1ubuntu1 (Hardy) and so far it seems
to work just fine.

Before patching, this bug would be the usual mode of failure for any Firefox session that went longer than a day or two, I have not had a chance to stress test Firefox, but I had found another program that could produce this bug on demand: 
In the game Clonk Rage ( http://www.clonk.de/cr.php ) if I attempted to change the screen resolution it would produce the BadIDChoice error every time.  Now after the patch it correctly changes the screen resolution and the rest of the game is playable as well (so far as I can tell from a couple of the tutorial levels)

My system is Kubuntu Hardy x86, and my GPU is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
IGP, using the proprietary drivers from the standard repositories. (The
game might act differently on other systems, in case anyone else wants
to check my results)
