BadIDChoice RENDER in python 3.3 and tk/tcl displayed on X


Infrequent crashes (once a day) with the following logs...

X Error of failed request:  BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (RENDER)  Minor opcode of failed request:  4 (RenderCreatePicture)

...appear to be a telltale signature of a known issue within xcb as mentioned in the following thread:

Bug 458092 - Crashes with BadIdChoice X errors

The patch for it is available here.
Based on the git history, this xcb bug should be fixed in libX11-1.1.99.2 and above (~8years ago).
