[Xcb] Re: XPending - XCBEventQueueLength sounds right but its gone. What else?

[Barton C Massey]

I guess the question we always have is "why"?  Why do you
want to count the number of queued events, rather than just
dequeueing them as needed?  If there's some value in knowing
this count, we'd be willing to put some work into being able
to tell you, but we haven't yet seen a place where it was
useful information...
