Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
When loading details views, I quite frequently get the message "software-center: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.". Once this has happened twice/thrice software-center quits/crashes.
To reproduce this issue, I browse to eg the accessories category, double click on the first item, click on 'accessories' in the pathbar, double click on the second item, etc.
It may or may not be a coincidence, but I have never been able to reproduce this issue whilst using our ReviewLoaderJso
I have no idea whether this is a s-c issue, an x issue or whatever.

Hm, odd. That error message probably means that software-centre's X connection has been closed - it's trying to write to a socket that no longer works.
That's not a common failure mode for X applications. I can't seem to reproduce it, but failing anything else, running software-centre under “xtrace” would print all the X protocol traffic that's occurring and the point at which it starts to fail.
