[PATCH 4/5] xwayland: Use Present's flips per window mode

[Roman Gilg]

I reread the mail by Pekka from the last mail chain and apparently have
remembered it wrong. I thought he said that it's fine the way I did it.
What I could do instead as he explained, is listen for the wl_display.sync
callback after each buffer commit in xwayland-present.c.

That would mean at this point the Wayland server has processed the commit
request and at some later point will eventually display the buffer on the
screen (as long as Xwayland doesn't commit a new buffer before that).
