Yes I still see it. Close bugs when they're fixed, not anytime else. Please let
me know if you can reproduce it.

The XSync() calls are indeed harmless, they were a first impression of where the
bug might come from. They do make behaviour non-ideal, though, because you do
manual optimizing which is ususally not the optimal way of doing stuff. I'd
still vote for removing them. Note, however, that this is irrelevant w.r.t. this
bug and should therefore be discussed elsewhere.

I *think* (but cannot test or proove) that the crashes come from async resizes
to the X server and then us trying to upload a larger image than the server has
currently configured internally to it. That breaks, X sends an error back and we
crash as a result. I don't know how to fix it, I don't want to touch ximagesink
right now. It's written nicely, but I have other priorities, unfortunately.
