You need to specify the --enable-32bit-visual flag when starting i3. This is
done because everything feels sluggish on my system when using a 32 bit visual
instead of a 24 bit visual. Fast > fancy.
Also prints out useful stuff:
CORE DUMPS: You are running a development version of i3, so coredumps were
automatically enabled (ulimit -c unlimited).
CORE DUMPS: Your current working directory is "/home/michael/i3".
CORE DUMPS: Your core_pattern is: /tmp/%e.core.%p
i3 (tree) version 4.0.2-479-g26ab2ac (2011-11-08, branch "next") starting
This does not affect child processes of i3.
The intention of this change is to make debugging easier – it’s one less thing
users of the development version have to worry about when trying to help with
debugging.
Also, the API changed a bit. There are two functions now, both assume you
already got the keysyms (which is the case for i3 and i3-config-wizard),
one gets the modifier mapping for you (aio_get_mod_mask_for) while the other
assumes you also got that. No roundtrips are required for the latter.
From i3 --help:
If you pass plain text arguments, i3 will interpret them as a command
to send to a currently running i3 (like i3-msg). This allows you to
use nice and logical commands, such as:
i3 border none
i3 floating toggle
i3 kill window
In order to not depend on X11 just for getting the socket paths, scripts or
other programs can now use i3 --get-socketpath. Since i3 must be present on the
computer anyways, this saves one dependency :).
The configuration option does the same as the commandline parameter, except
it can be easily set by the user (e.g. you are using KDM and can't start a
session through ~/.xsession).

This fixes a race where we created cursors on the Xlib connection, flushed,
then used the cursor on the XCB connection. Even though we flushed, the X
server did not process the requests yet and therefore returned a BadCursor
error.
This bugfix uses the Xlib connection for setting the root window cursor which
will ensure that the requests are properly serialized.
An easy test for this (on my machine) is the following ~/.xsession:
xsetroot -cursor_name cross
exec i3
If you see a cross cursor instead of the pointer, the race happens. You’ll see
a error_code=6 error in your ~/.xsession-errors.
These errors can happen because a DestroyWindow request by a client will
trigger an UnmapNotify, then a DestroyNotify. We cannot distinguish this
UnmapNotify from an UnmapNotify not followed by a DestroyNotify, so we just try
to send the ReparentWindow / ChangeProperty and ignore the errors, if any.
