In SDL_syswm.h, the documentation for SDL_GetWMInfo() states "If it's not implemented, or the version member of the 'info' structure is invalid, it returns 0."

The doc wiki states "1 if the function is implemented and no error occured, 0 if function is unimplemented, -1 if implemented but a failure occurred."

In SDL_x11wm.c, the implementation of X11_GetWMInfo() returns -1 if the 'info' structure contains a version number larger than the version of the SDL library being called.

Since the doc wiki and the implementation agree, I am assuming the header file gets it wrong. If that is indeed the case, please fix the documentation in the header file. In the mean time, I'm going to assume that any return value greater than 0 means success.
