It's not clear where the Expose is coming from. It doesn't appear to be
in response to a MapWindow or ClearArea. It somewhat looks as though
another (unrelated?) window is unmapped, but you don't see that in the
trace since it doesn't include the rest of the desktop.

I might suspect that the app is unnecessarily stalling waiting for an
event, when it should just continue processing. But I have no evidence
for this assertion.

Wireshark svn (and/or nightly build) has support for most extensions,
including RENDER.
