Note that if you apply this patch to something other than current Git
master of libX11, you will also need the sync fix from Git commit
64325f38bab082a8e0e9ce779a8e582de5c8588e.  You can find the patch at
<http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/lib/libX11.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=64325f38bab082a8e0e9ce779a8e582de5c8588e>.
