Fix memory leak in drawInWin
In f8c835a33a7a, I flipped the discard flag to XSync to False on a false
assumption that it may discard events from under the eventer thread
(since renamed to handleXEvent). This can't happen—the eventer thread
and the main loop do not share a Display connection, they have two
separate ones. Turns out, the main loop doesn't read/process any events
from its Display connection, which is why it was necessary to discard
them once in a while.
The fix restores that discarding, adds a comment to explain why that
discarding should stay, and just to make things a bit cleaner, also
prevents some of those events from being emitted in the first place: by
configuring the graphics context that we don't want any exposure events
(https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/events/exposure/graphics-expose-and-no-expose.html).
