xcb freedesktop folks,

   Strange missing documentation pages for xcb_generic_event_t. The page 
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_configure_notify_event_t.3.xhtml

links to:

https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_generic_event_t.3.xhtml

but the page for xcb_generic_event_t is missing. I would have taken that 
as a broken link and just used to man page from the console on openSUSE 
Tumbleweed, but that page is missing as well:

$ man xcb_generic_event_t
No manual entry for xcb_generic_event_t
Possibly, man page is not installed, try online at: 
https://manpages.opensuse.org/xcb_generic_event_t

   The xcb man pages are installed from the libxcb-devel-doc package 
from openSUSE, e.g. the libxcb-devel-doc-1.17.0-2.4.noarch.rpm, 
specifically.

   The man page for xcb_configure_notify_event_t is present and from the 
console provides the same information as the web page,

   Not sure why the xcb man pages are incomplete both at the www.x.org 
site and in the openSUSE package, but being missing in both places, I 
thought I was pass it along.
