I think I might have located the problem.  The server is not reporting the

That works, but I think there's just a typo in the original
code that keeps it from working the way it was intended.  FOR_NSCREENS
should have been FOR_NSCREENS_BACKWARD.  The idea was that it
counts down and sends the event on the last one (index zero) which
had the correct drawable.  Alot of functions use the BACKWARD
version for this an similar reasons.

OK, thanks.

There are two instances of FOR_NSCREENS in the original code -- which one is
supposed to be changed?

The one in ProcPanoramiXShmPutImage().

And are you saying that changing FOR_NSCREENS will fix the problem alone, or
that the patch is also needed?

The strace doesn't show enough of each packet read by the server to know for certain if the application requested events in its original XShmPutImage(), so I don't know for certain that this will fix the problem. But the fix is a definite candidate.
