Cool!

I see a couple of problems off-hand.

You haven't assigned a value returned from XCBPIXMAPNew to p.pixmap, so
you might have gotten an error that you didn't see. (We have some ideas
about how to make that easier, but for now you probably want to check
for X errors returned by XCBWaitEvent.) So make sure to assign to
p.pixmap before calling XCBCreatePixmap on it.

Also, you haven't copied the contents of your pixmap to your window,
which you should make sure you only do after you've received an Expose
event. I think. (I'm not actually an X expert.)

When you close this window, your window manager is calling XKillClient,
which causes the X server to close the socket connection to your
program. When the connection closes, XCBWaitEvent returns null, which
you're dereferencing in the condition of your switch statement.

Sure!
