Patch to fix the redraw problem

Description of problem:
Running QT or GTK apps results in fonts, icons and other details either failing to draw or rendering with incorrect colours. Running Xdmx with -norender fixes the problem, but it is very slow and an unacceptable solution.

How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xinit on client nodes
2. startx `which gnome-session` -- Xdmx :1 -display host1:0 -display host2:0 +xinerama
3. Many aspects of the windows fail to render.  Firefox has problems too. Happens with KDE and the same apps run under twm.
  
Additional info:
I have included a patch which can be applied to the SRPM and fixes the problem.

The patch isn't correct, but I'm pretty sure the equivalent problem is still present in RHEL7.

After some digging, it looks like this is the same issue as:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7555

Which was fixed upstream in the xserver 1.2 branch.  Therefore I believe this issue is resolved in all RHEL6 and RHEL7 X servers.
