Mac OS X + Green Shoes = Odd slowness #40

$ ruby -e "p require 'green_shoes'"
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-TQ1yDK/org.x:0".
true

After running line 1, there's about a 15 second pause, everything slows down (5-8s response time on actions), and the output pops up. Then X11 is opened in the background, and remains open after the ruby process is done.

I somehow doubt this is the intended result from simply requiring green shoes.

Found some information on the Xlib bit:

It definitely is just a warning. It occurs whenever an app tries to query the RANDR extension. It notices that the extension is missing and disables whatever optional support it would've had for that extension. gtk2 based applications will do this every time they start... probably any app that uses a toolkit higher level than libXt, libXaw, or motif will omit such a message.
