Ooh! I think we have a volunteer! ;-)

This stuff is what I was talking about in this mail:
	http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2005-March/000417.html
We need somebody to write those functions in a library built on XCB.
Would you consider doing it?

Looks like it's a bug in XCB's description of the ClientMessage event.
I guess it needs to contain something like
	<list type="void" ...><value>20</value></list>.
I'm too sleepy to fix it right now though.
