I looked into this.

Those drivers aren't sending damage events for pixmap to texture
bindings when the drawable is just backed by a pixmap and not a
window.

There's not much more I know about it at the moment, but at least the
nvidia driver gets it right in this regard.

At least with unity-window-decorator, we are re-sizing the bound
pixmap all the time anyways, so this is effectively worked around.

The decorator work I am doing right now might also help with this. It
caches multiple pixmaps so that they don't need to be regenerated all
the time and then we can just switch between them without needing
damage events to update the bound texture.
