Because the semantics of PresentPixmap are that the contents of the
source pixmap become part of the destination window. E.g. a later X11
request reading from the window must return the same contents that were
in the pixmap when PresentPixmap was executed.

This is why flips set the presented pixmap as the window pixmap. Any X11
request using a window eventually uses its window pixmap to access the
window contents.
