I just noticed that there's more packages in that .pc section which are
in the inputs but not propagated inputs.  Should I propagate them all?

Here is the whole .pc field, pretty-printed:

Requires.private:
libdrm >= 2.4.38
x11
xext
xdamage
xfixes
x11-xcb
xcb
xcb-glx >= 1.8.1
xcb-dri2 >= 1.8
xcb-dri3
xcb-present
xcb-sync
xshmfence >= 1.1
xxf86vm

And here are the propagated and normal inputs prior to my patch:

(propagated-inputs
  `(("glproto" ,glproto)
    ("libdrm" ,libdrm)
    ("libx11" ,libx11)
    ("libxdamage" ,libxdamage)
    ("libxxf86vm" ,libxxf86vm)))
(inputs
  `(("udev" ,eudev)
    ("dri2proto" ,dri2proto)
    ("dri3proto" ,dri3proto)
    ("libxshmfence" ,libxshmfence)
    ("presentproto" ,presentproto)
    ("expat" ,expat)
    ("libxfixes" ,libxfixes)
    ("libxml2" ,libxml2)
    ;; TODO: Add 'libva'
    ;; TODO: Add 'libxml2-python' for OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 support
    ("makedepend" ,makedepend)
    ("s2tc" ,s2tc)))

So I think libxshmfence and libxfixes should be propagated, right?
