Details:

Hi,

A while back there were problems with multiple display connections in XNEE.
Originally it was thought that it had something to do with broken record
implementation in X server. It turns out that it was caused by a general
synchronization problem in Xlib configured using --with-xcb option.

Reported bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27595
Patch:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/commit/?id=75ea8c37935ccc911557d16a303ba595b8ab106b

When the fixed Xlib is taken into use in distributions you can fix XNEE to
start using separate connections again:

  if ( xnee_record_from_data_display(xd))
    {
      /*
       * From X.org 1.6.0 to ????
       *
       *   there seem to be something strange about
       *   the XRecordCreateContext call
       *   which causes the XRecordEnableContextAsync
       *   to fail ... ugly fix, but it works
       *
       */
      fprintf(stderr, "Workaround: Creating context on data display instead
of control \n");
      fprintf(stderr, "            You can ignore this message\n");
      context_display = xd->data ;
    }
