Welp, I guess it means that all that remains is bringing up the issue
to the Cairo mailing list (again) and waiting for the problem to be
solved from their side. I'm afraid they might just say that Emacs is
"holding it wrong". :(
By the way, I wrote a minimal standalone cairo-xcb c program (see
attached) to trigger this particular bug. It opens a small window via
xcb, draws something via cairo, destroys the window and closes the
display when any key or mouse button is pressed on it, then recreates
everything again... And it repeats until it crashes (Hopefully. At
lest it crashes in my system). Redrawing errors also happen during the
process. It might be an useful example to bring to the Cairo mailing
list and to debug the root of this issue.
Thanks for everything you taught me, Po Lu.
