Because I copied it from the dri2 path not the pbuffer path. This idiom
is more correct, _XSetLastRequestRead is how you notify xlib of the
advance in serials so it can emit XSync when it approaches wraparound.

The pbuffer case is so deeply idiotic as to be unusable. Consider:

typedef struct {
    int type;
    unsigned long serial;
    Bool send_event;
    Display *display;
    Window window;
} XAnyEvent;

vs.

typedef struct {
    int event_type;
    int draw_type;
    unsigned long serial;
    Bool send_event;
    Display *display;
    GLXDrawable drawable;
    unsigned int buffer_mask;
    unsigned int aux_buffer;
    int x, y;
    int width, height;
    int count;
} GLXPbufferClobberEvent;

And worse, event_type for pbuffers is one of:

#define GLX_DAMAGED                     0x8020
#define GLX_SAVED                       0x8021

So if you expect to ever get a pbuffer clobber event, you need to edit
your event dispatch to know that event_type might be wildly out-of-band
from the X event namespace, and that any time you want one of the
fields from XAnyEvent you need a function call that's aware of the
different struct layouts. Good work SGI.

Fortunately neither Xorg nor nvidia will ever emit clobber events (and
I seriously doubt catalyst will either), so this is all academic unless
someone really wants interop with an Indigo, or we want to defend
against XSendEvent from a meddlesome client. I can fix the pbuffer
path, but the above is why I hadn't even thought to bother.
