Probably not much use to upstream maintainers, but I just generated myself a local copy of the libxcb-xkb0 using the attached patch to the source obtained from
apt-get source libxcb You may find it a sufficient workaround until a better one is provided by upstream. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/

+ .
+ * Size: small library and lower memory footprint

+ * Direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
+ * Thread support: access XCB from multiple threads, with no explicit locking
