Yeah, probably not ideal, especially when the GLX drawable is created
using the window XID (as is the case for some older GLX clients). I
don't have the original client at the time the event is generated, but I
think I can go back and stick it in; will require tracking when the
client exits, of course.

I think the original behaviour, sending the event to the client who sent
the PresentPixmap request is the only sane plan, and only a bit more
complicated than sending it to the drawable owner.

I'll cook up an alternate patch and send that along; we can then compare
the two approaches at least.
