Fine. I'll have a look at that also. I see the number of CVS trees (and
branches) to track is growing. I'll try the XCL branch of X11 too, as time
permits. I would be interested to know what part of the sources are not
affected by the port to XCB, so that I could work on code that's not going to
be useless too soon.

Do you have some timeframe in mind as to when XCL will be generally usable?
I was under the impression that some merge with the XFree CVS tree was going
to happen anyway, so any cleanup would have to wait in any case.

In the meantime I'll read the XCB docs, and I will try to sort out its
working.
