From 402254b5752fcf6a8197b92f558cb0c35289fa74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martin Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 22:19:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Flush xcb connection after opening fullscreen window (#74) We need to ensure that the window handle is valid, i. e. the window is actually created and accessible, before returning. This is necessary because we immediately fork after returning, and the child process opens its own X11 connection and expects the window handle to be valid.
