    This is a rare occurrence of a crash in Xwayland for which I don't have
    the reproducing steps, just a core file.
    
    The backtrace looks as follow:
    
      #0  raise () from /usr/lib64/libc.so.6
      #1  abort () from /usr/lib64/libc.so.6
      #2  OsAbort () at utils.c:1361
      #3  AbortServer () at log.c:877
      #4  FatalError () at log.c:1015
      #5  OsSigHandler () at osinit.c:154
      #6  <signal handler called>
      #7  xwl_glamor_pixmap_get_wl_buffer () at xwayland-glamor.c:162
      #8  xwl_screen_post_damage () at xwayland.c:514
      #9  block_handler () at xwayland.c:665
      #10 BlockHandler () at dixutils.c:388
      #11 WaitForSomething () at WaitFor.c:219
      #12 Dispatch () at dispatch.c:422
      #13 dix_main () at main.c:287
    
    The crash is caused by dereferencing “xwl_pixmap->buffer” in
    xwl_glamor_pixmap_get_wl_buffer() because “xwl_pixmap” is NULL.
    
    Reason for this is because the corresponding pixmap is from the root
    window and xwayland is rootless by default.
    
    This can happen if the window was mapped, redirected, damaged and
    unredirected immediately, before the damage is processed by Xwayland.
    
    Make sure to remove the dirty window from the damage list on unrealize
    to prevent this from happening.
    
    Credit goes to Adam Jackson <ajax@nwnk.net> and Daniel Stone
    <daniel@fooishbar.org> for finding the root cause the issue.
