[plt-dev] mred won't start on Ubuntu 9.10

I just upgraded my laptop to ubuntu 9.10, and MrEd (and DrScheme, and
Slideshow) now fails to start.  I get this error:

mred: ../../src/xcb_io.c:542: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data
!= ((void *)0)' failed
Aborted

I have two other Ubuntu 9.10 desktop machines, and everything works
fine for me there.

Needless to say, this is pretty problematic for me.
