This code is rather confusing. You have to keep in mind how it's used, which
among other things is from the kick handler. I tried to fix it up with

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=ce6dd69697ae62d9336bbd4f5808bc4d75cdcc04

But I guess it was insufficient? I have an odd recollection that I felt like
the stuff in the context destroy was suspect, but I don't remember how. Since
it wasn't directly related to my problem, I left it alone (esp since I was
going under the assumption that it would only be triggered on exit, in which
case it's harder to care). Unfortunately it was a long enough time ago that
I've lost my context on this. I'm guessing that the key here is that there are
multiple contexts and one screen. (Someone should confirm that to be the case.)
