backend/x11: don't send ConfigureRequest with the same size

Under X11, ConfigureNotify means that the window has already been resized.
Sending ConfigureRequest with the received size is not only useless, but also
can confuse the window manager, which will probably reply with the current
(i.e. *old*) size causing a configure loop.
