BTW, it might be safer to make this

    present_set_tree_pixmap(screen->root, flip_pixmap, screen_pixmap);

as well, so the root window pixmap is only changed to the screen pixmap
if it's currently the flip pixmap? Anyway, this can be done in a
followup, since the current call with NULL doesn't seem to cause any
problem in practice.

While I couldn't either just looking at present.c, I can get it called
with flip_window == NULL when pressing Escape while glxgears is flipping
in fullscreen, presumably due to present_clear_window_flip.

I'm not sure the present_copy_region or
present_set_tree_pixmap(screen->root, ...) calls will ever have any
actual effect in this case, but for now let's preserve the logic of the
refactored code wrt this.
