I've hit enough cases like this that I think we should consider
changing dixLookupPrivate thus:

---
diff --git a/include/privates.h b/include/privates.h
index e89c3e440..f34c32fd3 100644

 dixLookupPrivate(PrivatePtr *privates, const DevPrivateKey key)
 {
-    if (key->size)
+    if (!key->initialized)
+        return NULL;
+    else if (key->size)
         return dixGetPrivateAddr(privates, key);
     else
         return dixGetPrivate(privates, key);

I think if we'd done that I wouldn't have needed to back out v3 of the
"RANDR disabling" patch.
