 Dunno. One day I'll try to return from a fatal io error handler and
 continue calling Xlib on the other displays if I have some. 
Hey, that's exactly what my patch does.

...
 I'd be curious to see if still works but I doubt it seriously.
The
 other solution I was thinking of was using a set of set/long jmp
 stuff to go back some place once we know that a connection is broken
 (the io error handler was called), and try to get rid of the
 connection ourself. I haven't investigated much yet. 
This is what my patch does.  Throw to top-level is basically a series
of longjmp's.
