[PATCH xserver] glamor: Declare "pos" in glamor_dash.c

[Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Hello Eric,
thank you for your kind words and your time. It took me a while to figure out 
what the problem was, I reported it both at openSUSE bugzilla and "upstream" - 
well, ugly me, in my words. I even asked in advance to whom I should report. 

It took another wile to find the potential fix (was fun though challenging 
...), I reported this as well.

You know, I am an engineer. I am used to say what, where and - best case - 
why. This is what I did. I even reported a way to reproduce the problem 
easily. And I said on top of this - I am not the experienced C programmer, so 
watchout, my "why" may be accidentially working only for me and for my case.

Apparently this is not appreciated. I did not comply to formalisms that some 
people seem to inquire on this list.

Fine with me. I fixed the problem for me, and, the normalizing force of facts 
will urge those reluctant to my way of speaking to listen, sooner or later - 
simply because a bug is a bug is a bug is a bug. And it does not heal itself 
or go away because one does not appreciate the way the information is carried 
over.

I will not spend and more time waiting for rude and ignorant people to react 
on my efforts. And sorry from me to everyone who is suffering from this issue 
- those who should know better are simply caught in their ignorance.

If you say it is effort to put a line of code into a file and I should have 
understanding for those maintaining the sources, can you imagine how much 
effort it is to read tons of documentation, bother yourself with git, compile 
versions of xservers you do not have on site, set up a "play" machine to 
install this - just to push one single line of code upstream? I'd simply call 
the comparison ridiculous. Honestly speaking I never experienced anything 
similar in 25 years of work with linux.

Guys, some of you exhibit a strange behavior, this is all I can say. And if 
your aim is to improve the quality of this code, simply fix this bug.

There is nothing to add on top of this.
