It's certainly possible.  There are multiple processes
doing X operations:

	- any proc in devdraw on behalf of a client (only one at a time)
	- any proc in setcursor on behalf of a client
	- the proc reading x events and feeding them
	  to the keyboard and mouse drivers

I think the third guy is safe, but it's possible
that the first two conflict causing some calls to
get dropped.  There are a lot more character
draws than there are background fills, which
explains why we don't notice background fill
problems.
