Something thing that occurred to me the other day is that glXCopySubBuffer
isn't integrated with the concept of a SwapInterval which upsets Clutter quite
a bit when we start taking advantage of it because it allows applications to
break out of the framerate throttling we try to impose on applications.

This suggests that actually having a new extension that lets us copy a region +
end the frame + integrate with the swap interval in one go could be more ideal
for us.
