[Spice-devel] [PATCH 7/8] fix infinite loop in resolution change

[Christophe Fergeau]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau at redhat.com>

After hours of investigation, I am a bit clueless.. It seems XRR is sending
us spurious ScreenChangeNotify in a loop. So we keep calling
init_monitors(), which creates new platform_win etc.. Although none of the
clients seems to be resetting the screen (checked all XRRSet..). The fact
that we create many platform_win looks like a bug to me, and indeed, it
seems to help if we reuse the same platform_win over the various
init_monitors() calls.

Fixes rhbz #692833
