I would be _extremely_ hesitant to apply any more large patches to the 
X11 code in 1.2...it's being rewritten for 1.3, so cleaning something up 
in 1.2 without a clear benefit to most users is asking for trouble.

I didn't write the X11 code in SDL, but as I understand it, every 
strange thing it does was due to some platform, X server, or window 
manager with a unique bug or incompatibility.
