Hello folks,

if it still crashes for you with latest libX11-1.6.1 or .2 then another
component has not been upgraded within distro release.
AFAIK issues in multiple X11 components were exposed at the time of Wine's x11
lock removal/code rework.

You could search all X11 component GIT repos for commits related to
multithreading, races, mentioning of Wine etc.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/log/

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/log/

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/?h=server-1.13-branch

Newer distributions are known to not have this bug anymore.
You could compare X11 package versions against your distro releases
For example I know that for Fedora 16/17 this issue was present and Fedora
18/19 not.
Similar thing for Ubuntu releases.

Regards
