[xmonad] lockup when starting gvim in terminal

[Anthony Campbell]

If I start gvim (GUI version of vim) in a terminal I get an error
message and gvim locks up. The message is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
E852: The child process failed to start the GUI[xcb] Unknown sequence
number while processing queue

[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has
not been called
 
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273:
poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can prevent it from happening, either by starting gvim with dmenu or
by doing "gvim &" in a terminal. I think gvim normally starts as a child
process from a terminal.

Is this a bug? Any way of preventing the error apart from those I've
mentioned/
