Description: No session window with on PPC64 builds
Author: Mihai Moldovan <ionic@ionic.de>
Abstract:
 An endiannes issue was setting incorrect event masks when creating X11 windows.
 .
 This time, a smaller integer has been casted to a bigger one and passed to some
 function actually setting its value.
 .
 This meant, that garbage from stack was attached to the smaller integer value,
 putting unknown memory into the lower bytes of the bigger integer.
 .
 Fix this by creating a big, initialized temporary variable, let the function do
 its magic on that one and pass the value back to the smaller variable -- and
 cross your fingers the smaller variable can hold it without overrunning. (The
 last bit is a design issue we can't really fix and has been around even before
 this patch.)
