Discrepancy between XCB and X11 MappingNotify

Hello, I got inconsistent behavior between X11 and XCB which confuses me.=


First, I create a connection with xcb_connect() and then a window usi=
ng
xcb_create_window() and then I simply listen for MappingNotify events =
using
xcb_wait_for_event().
When using the command "setxkbmap", I recei=
ve a MappingNotify event as expected.

Now I tried the same but using l=
ibX11:
I open a connection using XOpenDisplay() and use XCreateSimpleWind=
ow() to get a
window. I then listen to events using XNextEvent().
When =
using "setxkbmap" now, I get no event.

This looks especially awkward w=
hen using x11-xcb where you have an XCB style
loop but use XOpenDisplay()=
. The code looks the same but no MappingNotify.

One answer suggested to use XKeysymToKeycode=
(display, XK_F1) to "cache the
modifier and keymap information". This mak=
es the X11 code work but does not work
for the x11-xcb case. And in addit=
ion, a few more MappingNotify events arrive
compared to the xcb only code=
.

I really want to know what could cause these discrepancies.
