5039226 Whitebox animation causes Solaris desktop hang

This problem is caused by a dead lock between java_vm and Xserver:

Xserver is grabbed by java_vm and waiting for XUngrabServer, java_vm

thought XUngrabServer was already sent and sends another dga lock

request to Xserver and blocked on that request. Here is what happened:

java_vm threads calls XGrabServer and XUngrabServer and then

Solaris_DGA_GetLock, it seems no problem, but the current

XUngrabServer requires a XSync call after XUngrabServer in MT

environment to make sure Xserver is ungrabbed *before* new lock

requests come in. Without this XSync, a dead lock may formed just like

this case.
