Nolan:
Is there a way to force the usage of the non-MIT-SHM codepath (e.g. where VMware
then uses |XPutImage()| instead of |XShmPutImage()|) ? This may help in the
cases where the MIT-SHM extension may cause crashes and on platforms where the
host OS X11 transport may be faster than the MIT-SHM (this is true for Solaris
(this is a general observation, no measurements have been made with VMware
itself yet as a port of the VMware software to Solaris/x86 is still unavailable)
when the shared memory X transport is being used (e.g. all traffic is going
through the shared memory and not only the image data)).
