That is -151, and that is where the left side of the image is placed relative
to the window. The image is bigger than the window so to be centered the left
side must be outside the left border of the window.
I thought that this was allowed, and xlib/the xserver handles the clipping
to the window size.
Since it only fails for you with xshm, this could be a bug in your xlib/server.

Could you just do one more test to make sure it really is this -151 that
is the problem.
In the XShmPutImage call, change window.video_area.x to 0.
Then it should work and the picture should start at the left side of the window
but be clipped at the right side.
