From: Ville Syrjala <syrj...@sci.fi>

Ever since xserver commit 531869448d07e00ae241120b59f3aaaa5709d59c,
the server no longer sends invalidate events to clients, unless they
have performed a GetBuffers request since the drawable was last
invalidated.

If the drawable gets invalidated immediately after the GetBuffers
request was processed by the X server, it's possible that Xlib
will process the invalidate event while waiting for the GetBuffers
reply. So the server, thinking the client knows that the buffers
are invalid, is waiting for another GetBuffers request before
sending any more invalidate events. The client, on the other hand,
believes the buffers to be valid, and thus is expecting to receive
another invalidate event before it has to send another GetBuffers
request. The end result is that the client never again sends
a GetBuffers request.

To avoid this problem, take a snapshot of the lastStamp before
doing GetBuffers, and retry if the snapshot and the current
lastStamp no longer match after the GetBuffers reply has been
processed.

Sigh. So no one actually took the bait based on the original
patch submission (apart from a small nibble from Dave).
Let's try again...

Distros are shipping the broken xserver-1.11 + Mesa 7.11 combo,
so either people don't care about the breakage, or no one
resizes their windows anymore. Either way I'd like at least my
system to work correctly w/o manual patching.
