Holding back X or it's sub-components is really not an option.  The
applications have to keep up.  xcb-util doesn't fall under my umbrella,
exactly, but I do update it in Xorg sweeps on occasion.  Unless the
damage is widespread progress must continue.  Awesome needs to be
patched, updated or marked BROKEN temporarily.
