since we're using the GPU for composition, don't use a texture for dimming,
instead simply use an alpha-blended quad.
also workaround what looks like a GL driver bug by calling glFinish() before
glReadPixels().
A window is created and the browser is about to render into it the
very first time, at that point it does an IPC to SF to request a new
buffer. Meanwhile, the window manager removes that window from the
list and the shared memory block it uses is marked as invalid.
However, at that point, another window is created and is given the
same index (that just go freed), but a different identity and resets
the "invalid" bit in the shared block. When we go back to the buffer
allocation code, we're stuck because the surface we're allocating for
is gone and we don't detect it's invalid because the invalid bit has
been reset.
It is not sufficient to check for the invalid bit, I should
also check that identities match.
