Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0"

on starting a number of apps I am seeing multiple lines of
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

I've read several postings saying ignore not a problem, unfortunately it is a problem for a number of bash scripts we use with Xdialog as it gets those messages instead of the users input !

I unfortunately read it is related to xcb and saw in synaptic there was a newer version available, to install that it removed vlc. the update did not resolve my issue and now of course I would like vlc back, but synaptic tells me it cannot install due to dependency issue(s)

Odd.  I've seen that error before but never really had a problem from it.  On a couple rare occasions when my synaptic wouldn't start I just restarted kde and it came back.  Only reason I mention that is because when I tried running synaptic from a terminal I saw that message.

These messages will be gone as soon as 2010 arrives with the new Xorg version. Tex posted this info, but I just can't seem to find it...

<<These messages will be gone as soon as 2010 arrives with the new Xorg version>>
So I am confused, according to answers to another post I am running 2010 already ?

Is the new version of Xorg 1.6 ?

Will the fix mean having to go to KDE 4.x ?
(which is I think an issue for us with some apps we use)

Is there anyway to just suppress the messages ?
