That makes it less likely, but it's still skippy.  It's what I do now,
but without a delay after the last resize event, it still looks like
this:

346 frames, 114.95 s, 1.9 fps
resize event 672x641
resizing to 672x641
resize event 681x656
resizing to 681x656
resize event 687x668
resizing to 687x668
349 frames, 116.48 s, 2.0 fps
resize event 700x687
resizing to 700x687
resize event 705x692
resizing to 705x692
resize event 700x687
resizing to 700x687
352 frames, 118.18 s, 1.8 fps
resize event 705x692
resizing to 705x692
355 frames, 119.40 s, 2.5 fps

Nevermind the low fps, it's just Mesa on this computer (which means that
the X server was hit by software rendering).  The frame counters are
printed approximately every 1.5 seconds, I was slowly and continuously
enlarging the window with the mouse.
