Also consider the current solution in WineX. It uses XPeekEvent inside
EVENT_ProcessEvent to detect a sequence of consecutive ConfigureNotify
events in the queue, and only process the last one. Since
EVENT_ProcessEvent is only called after the app is done with its window
management stuff and starts processing events, the last event is more
likely to have arrived by that time (at least in that game we had to do
this hack for, where the event loop started several seconds after a
bunch of window changes, which included showing/hiding, so we also try
to eliminate UnmapWindow/MapWindow pairs in the queue in WineX to avoid
getting the window minimized).

But it'd still not be reliable without being able to somehow track all
the pending ConfigureWindow/ConfigureNotify events, which is next to
impossible when dealing with an unknown window manager.
