Last month I abandoned my upgrade to opensuse12.1 (same as original 
poster) because of a problem I was seeing with the ATI drivers. I didn't 
get to do a postmortem on the upgrade to figure out what happened, I 
just went back to 11.2 instead ... When I saw the initial post I 
couldn't remember why xcb_io.c looked awful familiar. Thanks for the 
nudge ;-)
