Multiple connections can be opened to the same server, which will have
the same XID for the root window, so that won't help. I think.

When you call XCBWaitForEvent or XCBPollForEvent, you know what
connection you're getting the event from. You should track it there if
you need it. You could create your own structure containing the event
and an XCBConnection* or something.
