It flushes any pending drawing to the kernel, to make sure it'll be visible to the Wayland server. Without this, it was possible for the Wayland server to process surface commits before Xwayland got around to flushing the corresponding drawing, which could result in stale or even completely random window contents being visible. v2: * Make EGL backend post_damage hook mandatory, don't check for NULL in xwl_glamor_post_damage.

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.
