That is very ugly, because it causes side effects in unrelated parts of the
program (other ximagesinks). It also doesn't recover from errors in other parts
of the code - like state changes or buffer allocations, that might not even be
critical (-ENOMEM on buffer alloc for example).

I'd suggest that if you want to be able to debug X errors, use a global mapping
of display <=> element and properly lock it when adding/removing/querying
elements from this mapping.
And check the error stuff after every XSync, if you have avoidable errors (like
buffer_alloc).
