With a bit of additional testing (I rebooted my laptop...), I discovered
that this second patch breaks gdm3 very badly, so I have not pushed
it. It's entirely unnecessary to fix the core bug; it just seemed 'nice'
to match the old Xlib semantics. I haven't investigated why gdm3 doesn't
like this patch; it will be a bit tricky to debug that though...

I've pushed the first (bug fix) patch; that one seems to work fine, and
does at least fix a demonstrable problem in the library.
