In X11 the SDL error "Unknown touch device" can occur after which the application stops recognizing touch events. For a kiosk-type application this results in a hang as far as the user is concerned. This is reproducible on HP Z220/Z230/Z240 workstations by swapping USB cables for a while and it also occurs with no physical changes, probably due to USB device power management. A workaround is to make SDL re-enumerate the touch devices like it does at startup. A patch is attached.
- Cache the _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS data locally, so we don't have to query
the X server for them (instead, we update our cached data when PropertyNotify
events alert us to a change).
- Use our cached extents for X11_GetWindowBordersSize(), so it's a fast call.
- Window position was meant to refer to the client area, not the window
decorations, so adjust appropriately when getting/setting the position.
This is for corner cases where a multi-window app is activated and wants to
make a decision about where focus should go.
This patch came from Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL, compliments of Epic Games.
This is currently implemented for X11, Cocoa, Windows, and DirectFB.

Specifically: always on top, skip taskbar, tooltip, utility, and popup menu.
This is currently only implemented for X11.

The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
