By calling XSync in _gdk_x11_display_after_process_all_updates we
effectively make gdk rendering sync, which avoids problems with the
client animations running faster than the Xserver rendering, thus
filling up the X rendering pipes and essentially "locking up" the
Xserver (i.e. you can't even close the offending window because the
WM is starved too).
I verified this worked by making GtkSpinner paint multiple times on my
intel driver (which has some issue making this rendering slow atm),
and without this patch i get severe lag where even window dragging
stops for 5 seconds when i drag the mouse around. However, with the
patch everything is smooth.

GDK_WINDOW_XID() has the side-effect of turning a window native;
this in turn can have unexpected effects such as black backgrounds.
Avoid this by using the XID of the toplevel.

Otherwise the evil widgets that don't chain up their map and unmap
vfuncs will not get updated style contexts. This is in particular true
for GtkWindow and the CSS Theming / animated backgrounds demo in
gtk-demo.
Here's the shortest description of the bug I can come up with:
When computing values, we have 3 kinds of dependencies:
(1) other properties ("currentColor" or em values)
(2) inherited properties ("inherit")
(3) generic things from the theme (@keyframes or @define-color)
Previously, we passed the GtkStyleContext as an argument, because it
provided these 3 things using:
(1) _gtk_style_context_peek_property()
(2) _gtk_style_context_peek_property(gtk_style_context_get_parent())
(3) context->priv->cascade
However, this makes it impossible to lookup values other than the ones
accessible via _gtk_style_context_peek_property(). And this is exactly
what we are doing in gtk_style_context_update_cache(). So when the cache
updates encountered case (1), they were looking up the values from the
wrong style data.
So this large patch essentially does nothing but replace the
context argument in all compute functions with new arguments for the 3
cases above:
(1) values
(2) parent_values
(3) provider
We apparently have a lot of computing code.
The garbage would be visible if any widget enabled the toplevel
NSView's CALayer in order to do custom native rendering.

This is needed for the SELECTION_NONE mode where nothing is ever
selected, but its also needed for CTRL-<key> keynav that moves the
focus without changing the selection.

Currently the GdkWindow used for dragging is created once when
the first drag starts, and the reused identical each time.
Instead, just recreate it for each drag, with the correct size.
