I had something similar a few months ago.
I was using XCheckMaskEvent.
Rewriting the program to use XNextEvent solved the issue.
See: http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2013-December/024819.html

In my case, the problem was that XCheckMaskEvent will not pick up
MIT-SHM-Completion events, so they will accumulate in the queue
(if I get it right).

So the "solution" is to use XNextEvent, which will pick up those
unwanted events. Or fix cairo, because those events have nothing
to do in the X queue in the first place. It might be hard though...
