Commitaffc47452- "xwayland: Drop the separate refcount for the xwl_pixmap" removed the separate reference counter for the xwl_pixmap which holds the EGLStream. While that works fine for the common case, if the window's pixmap is changed before the stream is ready, the older pixmap will be destroyed and the xwl_pixmap along with it, even if the compositor is still using the stream. The code that was removed with commitaffc47452was taking care of that by increasing the separate reference counter for the xwl_pixmap, but it no longer the case. As a result, we may end up with the EGL stream in the wrong state when trying to use it, which will cascade down into all sort of issues. To avoid the problem, increase the reference count on the pixmap when it is marked as invalid in EGLStream's SetWindowPixmap(). This way, the xwl_pixmap and the EGLStream are kept until released by the compositor, even when the pixmap changes before stream is ready.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
