xcb_get_setup returns pointers to the information provided at connection
time - there is no way to update that information on an existing connection.
(The X11 core protocol did not expect that information to ever change -
  and it couldn't until the RANDR extension came along decades later.)

You'll need to keep track of resize events from the RANDR extension instead
and store the screen sizes in your own structure instead.
