---8<--- SProcShmCreatePixmap() in file programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c swaps all the multi- byte members of the xShmCreatePixmapReq struct except for pid. If the application and the X server are running in different endianness, calls to XShmCreatePixmap will fail. This is difficult to reproduce unless you happen to have a locally running X client in a different endianness mode to the server, but if you have and you try to use XShmCreatePixmap the X server will return an error. ---8<--- This is the same as: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4730 For which a patch has already been committed upstream (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4730#c1)
