XGetImage and XGetSubImage, when called on the Composite backing pixmap of a manually redirected top-level window, fail when part of the requested image data corresponds to parts of the window that lie outside the root window.
Show an interest in this poor, disk-crashed bug report.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
This was a misunderstanding on my part about how Composite worked. The redirected windows are clipped by the root window. Marking invalid.
