What I still don't understand is why TigerVNC and RealVNC need this
mechanism and why TightVNC and TurboVNC don't.  What is the old code
base doing differently?  Turbo and Tight 1.3.x certainly do not use
XDamage, because they don't even provide that extension.  Both code
bases appear to be hooking into the same GC operations in virtually the
same way, and algorithmically doing the same things to trigger an update
in response to an X operation.  Thus, what I would expect is that, when
disabling the ComparingUpdateTracker in TigerVNC, I should get the same
behavior as TurboVNC, but I don't.  I get duplication of data.

I agree, this is strange. Are you testing with the same version of the Xserver etc? Are all/most GC hook operations called twice, or just some of them?
