Bug Description

After I had switched from X to VT several times (maybe there are other
causes too, but I don't know them) X stopped updating windows. The mouse
cursor was moving and changing its shape as I moved it over different
windows. I could still switch between VT and X. On VT I found that,
apparently, lightdm wasn't handling data from X properly because there
was over 200kB worth of data waiting in X's send queue and 8k in receive
queue in lightdm.

The numbers had been growing each time I switched between X and VT.
