Are you *sure*? The list length given in the XML description of
ListProperties says xcb_list_properties_atoms_length should return
exactly the same value as reply->atoms_len, unless I'm completely
forgetting how this works.

GetProperty is different though, and might be why you're confused. ...
And in trying to read the XML for that request, now I'm confused. I
think it's different than my m4 version used to be, and I'm not sure how
to read it any more.

Josh, perhaps you can comment on XML-XCB semantics for these requests?

Ian, perhaps you could look at whether we're doing something stupid with
regard to the protocol?

I *think* your code is wrong and buggy.

That should be right.
