It was removed in 3.34 as part of 6ed5d2e2. And we thought that was the
only thread that might exist and use X11. But the top gnome-shell crasher
in 3.36 seems to suggest otherwise.
We don't know what or where the offending thread is, but since:
1. We used XInitThreads for years already prior to 3.34; and
2. Extensions or any change to mutter/gnome-shell could conceivably use
threads to make X calls, directly or indirectly,
it's probably a good idea to reintroduce XInitThreads. The failing assertion
in libx11 is also accompanied by a strong hint:
```
fprintf(stderr, "[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client " \
"and XInitThreads has not been called\n");
```
