Ahh.. And this is presumably triggered either by some new Xorg behavior in
fc9 or just the scheduler timing changes that caused other things too?

Your suggested solution sounds ok, but I'm also wondering why those things
aren't properly refcounted? It does sound like a bug to free the thing
before all users are gone - regardless of anything else. Hmm?

But the ungrab sounds like the best short-term fix. Do we have a patch for
testing? Please? It's pretty late in the 2.6.25 cycle for these kinds of
things..
