No, it is not supposed to be like that.

OpenGL applications always post full-screen damage whenever they call
glXSwapBuffers.

Just because you get getting a fullscreen damage rectangle reported
when using XDamageReportRawRectangles, it doesn't necessarily mean the
whole screen got redrawn. Think about it, if libGL needs to calculate
and post the damage region to the server, how is it supposed to figure
out what regions of the image changed when it gets told that the
pointer to the image itself changed. For all OpenGL cares, the new
buffer is completely different to the old buffer, because the new
buffer always starts out in an undefined state, so it could be
anything.

Having a full-screen damage region is just another way of telling
clients "I have no idea what the contents of this window are going to
be". Which is about accurate.

It doesn't actually ask the server to redraw the whole window. When
you draw directly to a double-buffered root window, its effectively
the same as the monitor scanning out the pixels from the buffer you're
drawing into. So changing the pointer is a very inexpensive operation.

It sucks if you're either a compositor or a VNC app. For VNC apps -
that's life: OpenGL simply can't know what the contents of new buffers
will be. For compositors: thats why we have full screen window
unredirection.
