Yeah, the question is: what should it do? With the posted code, I think
it'll get either the primary pipe's counter (if the drawable has never
been a window) or the last pipe it was associated with. That seems
sufficient...

Yeah I looked again right after posting the last patch and the current
code seems ok. I'll remove the pdraw == NULL checks.

Wouldn't we want to increment the base value by the difference between
the last pipe value and the current one?
But yeah, handling a drawable that moves between outputs with different
vblank counters is a little tricky, I think we could handle making it
monotonic in driDrwableGetMSC32 by using per-drawable, per-pipe vblSeq
values as you suggest.
