I think this should use drawableId instead of pDraw->id, and refcnt
should only be incremented if it's different from glxDrawableId.
Combined with the patch I attached to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28181 this block could look
something like

    if (drawableId != glxDrawableId) {
	/* Add the glx drawable under the XID of the underlying X drawable
	 * too.  That way we'll get a callback in DrawableGone and can
	 * clean up properly when the drawable is destroyed. */
	if (!AddResource(drawableId, __glXDrawableRes, pGlxDraw)) {
	    pGlxDraw->destroy (pGlxDraw);
	    return BadAlloc;
	}

	pGlxDraw->refcnt++;
	pGlxDraw->otherId = pDraw->id;
    }

Then this patch will hopefully address that bug and maybe others with
references to DrawableGone. Fingers crossed. :)

The return at the end of the function uses True instead of TRUE.
