So in your customized session the patch doesn't really solve the
problem?  Or did I misunderstand?

Now I'm confused: if MapNotify is sent when you use any of the 3
methods, then why doesn't the frame redisplay normally?  Previously
you said that MapNotify isn't received in this scenario.  What am I
missing?

OK, thanks.  Bhavin, are you also using the same window manager?
