I wonder how many places assume that 'type != DRAWABLE_WINDOW &&
type != DRAWABLE_PIXMAP' type of checks would catch InputOnly windows?

At least dri2 relies on that in DRI2CreateDrawable(). Well, actually
DRI2CreateDrawable() leaks memory if it encounters UNDRAWABLE_WINDOW, 
but that's just a bug that should be fixed anyway.

I fear you pretty much have to review every piece of code that checks
the drawable type.
