Just to add to that, I like to *outdent* my “break;” statements at the
ends of case alternatives:

    switch (TheEvent.type)
      {
    case Expose:
        fprintf(stderr, "Expose received\n"); /* debug */
        MainWindowVisible = true;
      /* no drawing done here: just wait until time for next animation frame */
    break;
    case UnmapNotify:
        MainWindowVisible = false; /* I've been iconified */
    break;
    case VisibilityNotify:
        MainWindowVisible = TheEvent.xvisibility.state != VisibilityFullyObscured;
    break;
    case DestroyNotify:
        fprintf(stderr, "Window destroyed\n");
        Quitting = true;
    break;
    default:
        fprintf(stderr, "got event type %d\n", TheEvent.type); /* debug */
    break;
      } /*switch*/

Can anyone guess why? ;)
