If the pixmap size does not match the present box size, flickering occurs. This can happen when the client changes its size (e.g. switching to fullscreen), and since the buffer is kept as long as the pixmap is valid, once the buffer is created, it remains at the wrong (old) size and causes continuous flickering.
Check that the pixmap size and present box size match in xwl_present_flip() and return FALSE otherwise, so that we skip the pixmap with the wrong size.
