Why does X have multi-thread support disabled by default?

Quite a few programs (e.g. freeamp) give nasty "Xlib: unexpected async
reply" errors due to making X calls from more than one thread.

Now that threads and libc_r are part of the system (and have been for a
while), perhaps Xlibs should be built thread-safe?

Has anyone trying compiling XFree86 with multi-thread support enabled?

Dean
