Patch to fix the issue (replace XUnmapWindow with XWithdrawWindow call)

In X11_HideWindow, we call XUnmapWindow to unmap. According to ICCCN2.0, this should never happen, and XWithdrawWindow should be called instead.

http://www.tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.4

"The reason for requiring the client to send a synthetic UnmapNotify event is to ensure that the window manager gets some notification of the client's desire to change state, even though the window may already be unmapped when the desire is expressed."

Additionally, this can be observed at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/tree/src/Withdraw.c#n65

Failure to comply leads to "MapNotify" event never appearing on non-reparenting WMs after subsequent show-hide-show requests. (I'm currently observing this behavior, thus my bug report).

(Sorry if you get a lot of copies of this email, we're touching dozens of bug reports right now.)

Tagging a bunch of bugs as target-2.0.0, Priority 1.

This means we're in the final stretch for an official SDL 2.0.0 release! These are the bugs we really want to fix before shipping if humanly possible.

That being said, we don't promise to fix them because of this tag, we just want to make sure we don't forget to deal with them before we bless a final 2.0.0 release, and generally be organized about what we're aiming to ship.

Hopefully you'll hear more about this bug soon. If you have more information (including "this got fixed at some point, nevermind"), we would love to have you come add more information to the bug report when you have a moment.

Thanks!

minimal test case

Expected behavior: program flickers a window and quits.

Observed behavior: program freezes forever.
