[arch-ports] [Arch64] Problem running firefox or thunderbird since system upgrade

Hey arch64'ers I just upgraded my system and, since 10 minutes, I
cannot run firefox or thunderbird. I get this strange error :

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1102 error_code 1 request_code 152 minor_code 2)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

This looks like a problem with X. The pacman -Syu command just before
that upgraded plenty Xorg related packages so I tried reinstalling
them but this doesn't affect the situation. Since this is really
strange to me, and I don't have much time to investigate it, any
suggestions would be appreciated.
