Right, right, sorry. I've pushed your libxcb patch, so at least that
will be in the 1.8 release, whenever that happens.

I'm perfectly happy with the corresponding libX11 patch too, except that
I can't merge a patch that depends on new libxcb features until there's
a libxcb release for it to depend on.

In order to merge the reduced-syscall patch to libX11 ASAP, would you
make one more revision to it? If you can add the right autoconf test to
check whether libxcb provides xcb_poll_for_queued_event, and make libX11
fall back to xcb_poll_for_event otherwise, I think that patch would be
safe to merge immediately.

On the other hand, Josh and I aren't yet convinced by your last patch.
Is it really correct to drop the dependency from libX11-xcb on libX11?
The two libraries must agree on the structure definition in Xxcbint.h,
or Bad Things happen. I'm not sure even the current dependency is saving
us here, but removing it doesn't seem better.
