Bug Description

There is a race condition in configureXWindow/moveWindow, where the latter updates the geometry last sent and received from the server immediately and unconditionally rather than on XConfigureWindow and ConfigureNotify. When these two operations happen close to each other while we are waiting for ConfigureNotify events, they can cause those ConfigureNotify events to be processed incorrectly.
