One possible reason it crashes is the python2-xlib is far outdated. The
package was added in patch db62afa55ad443cc50bcafe64eb3ba239eae9c11
(2015) and has been version 0.14 ever since. The website says it has
been migrated to github, which says the most recent stable release is
0.25. It looks like there is a similar issue (though not identical) htt
ps://github.com/python-xlib/python-xlib/issues/53 which was fixed.

I will see if updating python2-xlib fixes this, and if so I will send a
patch.

Any objections?
