Bug Description

I detect the next difference in the XLib API between the manpages specifications and the source header on /usr/include/X11:

### man 3 XCopyGC ###
int XCopyGC(Display *display, GC src, GC dest, unsigned long valuemask);
### END ###

### /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h ###
extern int XCopyGC(
    Display* /* display */,
    GC /* src */,
    unsigned long /* valuemask */, <----------+--------------- Different order of arguments!
    GC /* dest */ <--------------------/
);
### END ###

Hi jimenezrick,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

This bug was fixed in the package libx11 - 2:1.3.3-3ubuntu1

---------------
libx11 (2:1.3.3-3ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Add Latin locale.
    - Add Klingon locale.

libx11 (2:1.3.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Drop manpage from libx11-6-udeb.
  * Don't install X11 locale data in the udeb. The installer uses only gtk
    apps so this is useless (and big).

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * Cherry-pick patch from upstream to run user's synchandlers as well as
    any internal synchandlers: 75ea8c3793. This fixes xnee issues when
    RECORD extension is enabled (Closes: #536491; LP: #378648).
  * Merge xsfbs/debian-unstable to fix double autoreconf runs.

libx11 (2:1.3.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Update debian/copyright from upstream COPYING.
  * Remove myself from Uploaders

  [ Brice Goglin ]
  * Remove Jamey Sharp and Josh Triplett from Uploaders, closes: #568274.

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * Add udeb needed for the graphical installer: libx11-6-udeb.
  * Bump the B-D on libxcb1-dev to ensure libx11-6-udeb gets a dependency
    on libxcb1-udeb.
  * Bump Standards-Version from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4 (no changes needed).
  * Add myself to Uploaders.

libx11 (2:1.3.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * xtrans has been fixed to not make us export a weak in6addr_any. Adjust
    libx11-6.symbols accordingly (closes: #560648).
  * Rename the build directory to not include DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE for no
    good reason. Thanks, Colin Watson!
  * Update symbols file for sparc64 (closes: #560400). Thanks, Aurélien
    Jarno!
  * New upstream release
    + fix XCopyGC argument order in manpage (LP: #408337)
  * Bump xutils-dev build-dep for new util-macros.
  * Install the Compose man page in libx11-data.
  * Rediff patches 003_recognize_glibc_2.3.2_locale_names.diff,
    007_iso8859-15_Compose_fix.diff, 008_remove_ko_Compose.diff,
    009_remove_th_Compose.diff, 015_russian_locale_alias.diff.
  * libx11-6.symbols: add xlocaledir, made non-static in 1.3.3.
