Note that the GLX spec is a little more complicated wrt this, it says:
If dpy and draw are the display and drawable for the calling
thread’s current context, glXSwapBuffers performs an implicit
glFlush.
(I think the Mesa glXSwapBuffers code doesn't currently conform to this
but unconditionally performs the implicit glFlush)
