[Xcb] _Problems_ in GSoC, 2011

[vikash agrawal]

Dear All,
For solving Bug 34037 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34037> I
thought something like:-

   1. Find padding of each elements
   2. Comment all extra padded elements with - "// Extra padding of *integer
   * bytes" [This is a precautionary step ] [ I am* facing problem's* is
   finding the places of extra padding by looking at source files, so please
   help me here as in how to find these extra padding in code's. also where is
   the extra padding in the attached utility? ]
   3. finally, Call a function align(n) to align the extra padded data
   structures, I am planning to provide another padding to these data
   structures and align then accordingly, and I guess this will solve the
   problem
   4. Please help/guide me on every step starting from #1, as in how do I
   proceed, also I have started with shape.xml, so if you can give me ideas and
   suggestions relating to that then it would be great

As I have already mentioned there was some major problem, as a result I did
lose some proficiency on the subject but I have again started from this very
point :-

So how do I move from now on
