Exception on Linux. Maximum number of clients reached.

[misiektw]

Linux 5.15, Xorg 21.1.3, Manjaro 21.3, pynput 1.7.6 (tested on master too)

Simple script based on examples:

from pynput.keyboard import Events

while True:
    with Events() as kevents:
        kevent = kevents.get(1.0)
    if kevent:
        print(kevent)

Throwing exceptions after few minutes of running, and stops processing keys:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/threading.py", line 1016, in _bootstrap_inner

    protocol_display.Display.__init__(self, *args, **keys)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py", line 166, in __init__
    raise error.DisplayConnectionError(self.display_name, r.reason)
Xlib.error.DisplayConnectionError: Can't connect to display ":0.0": b'Maximum number of clients reached'

Seems like depends on delay value. Shorter delay causing faster exception. But it's just my impression, not tested statistically.

I have the same issue. Any solution?
