It could happen with the following call path: frame_callback xwl_present_frame_callback xwl_present_msc_bump xwl_present_execute xwl_present_flip xwl_window_create_frame_callback The nested loop called xwl_present_reset_timer, which may end up calling xorg_list_del for the entry after the one frame_callback started the chain for. This resulted in the outer loop never terminating, because its next element wasn't hooked up to the list anymore. We avoid this by calling xwl_present_reset_timer as needed in frame_callback, and bailing from xwl_window_create_frame_callback if it was called from the former. We also catch nested calls and FatalError if they ever happen again due to another bug. v2: * Leave xwl_present_reset_timer call in xwl_present_frame_callback, needed if xwl_present_msc_bump didn't hook up the window to the frame callback list again.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
