I've added comments on the upstream bugs to point out that the fix isn't
quite correct.
Testing the Xrandr client library for version at compile time is
necessary, but you also need to test the reported Xrandr protocol
version from the server, since in the general case, the two might not
match.
It would be a problem only if one downgraded libxrandr to a previous version.
Usually distributions don't update
libxrandr or the Xserver in stable releases. This means that g-d and g-p-m
will have to be rebuilt (in this case) in order to be used with previous
versions of libxrandr. In any
Also, unfortunately the problem isn't fixed by the cheaper call to

Blocking out XRRGetScreenSizeRange does indeed also fix the problem,

via various APIs, so I'd prefer to leave it in there if possible.

This is most easily reproducible if you have a laptop, remove / insert
