slic3r crashes, Fatal IO error.. Linux64 (no replies)

Hello,

I am running slic3r-git on Arch Linux x64. Every time i go to add an STL file to slic3r, the whole program just closes its self. I had a problem like this on my desktop which also runs arch, but that turned out to be a missing Perl-WX dependency. I am having the problem on my laptop currently, i tried to install the perl-wx dependency but that didnt fix my problem.

I ran slic3r from a terminal and got the following output after adding a file to be sliced:

jc61990@Latitude-XT ~ % slic3r.pl 
slic3r.pl: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
slic3r.pl  5.34s user 0.29s system 27% cpu 20.750 total

i then added the --gui flag, which gave me a little bit more output on the error

jc61990@Latitude-XT ~ % slic3r.pl --gui
[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
perl: xcb_io.c:179: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.
[1]    543 abort (core dumped)  slic3r.pl --gui
slic3r.pl --gui  4.83s user 0.44s system 47% cpu 10.990 total

has anyone else had problems with slic3r like this? It must be something recent since i have had slic3r working on this laptop in the past, i recently reinstalled my OS and after re-installing slic3r i ran into this problem.
