Yonit Halperin cf6e58fe33 red_worker: Fix reference counting for the current frame (drawable) of a stream
After marshalling MSG_STREAM_CREATE, there is no need to ref and
unref stream->current before and after completing the sending of the
message (correspondingly). The referencing is unnecessary because all
the data that is required from the drawable (the clipping), is copied
during marshalling, and no field in the drawable is referenced (see
spice_marshall_msg_display_stream_create).

Moreover, the referencing was bugous:
While display_channel_hold_pipe_item and
display_channel_client_release_item_after_push referenced and
dereferenced, correspondingly, stream->current, stream->current might
have changed in between these calls, and then we ended up with one drawable
leaking, and one drawable released before its time has come (which
of course led to critical errors).

   SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
   =============================================================

SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Installation
------------

The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
  make
  sudo make install

Or to install into a private user specific location

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
  make
  make install

The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE

    Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
    Celt           >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
    Pixman         >= 0.17.7
    OpenSSL
    libjpeg
    zlib
    Cyrus-SASL

The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality

    GE Gui         >= 0.6.0,  < 0.7.0   (GUI app support)
    OpenGL                              (GUI app support)
    Alsa                                (Linux support)
    XRandR         >= 1.2               (X11 support)
    Xinerama       >= 1.0               (X11 support)
    libcacard      >= 0.1.2             (Smartcard support)
    Slirp                               (Tunnelling support)

Communication
-------------

To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel

There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/

To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice

Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.

The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:

   http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
