[IMPACT]

Wine needs an update to libxcb to include upstream commit
23911a707b8845bff52cd7853fc5d59fb0823cef. This commit fixes an issue
where multithreaded applications lock up when they use both OpenGL and
X11. This is being hit with a number of popular games on both quantal
and precise.

[TESTCASE 1 - No wine required]

1) download https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=67051
2) compile and run: --- gcc -o test t.c -lxcb -lpthread; ./test
3) When broken (without the patch) you'll just see "o" repeating over and over, when working properly (with the patch) you'll see both "o" and "x" appearing in the output.

[TESTCASE 2 - Wine required]

1) download http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=41417 and extract it
2) run wine graphics.exe and watch for it to get hung.
3) It should fade out or be hung on a green screen soon after launch without the fix.

[Regression Potential]

This patch is in the stable libxcb 1.9 which was just released last
week. There has been no known fallout from it being in quantal for 2
weeks.
