No. The problem manifests if XInitThreads() is called for the first time
(in the process lifetime) while there is one (or more) active Display
pointers open. But I still would rather not link the VLC PA plugin to
libX11 anymore.

As far as Phonon VLC is concerned, the bug is still present since my fix
was reverted without explanations, and GLX exhibits the exact same problem
has libpulse had.
