Hi Travis.

I don't have too much experience with this but yes, I believe that it's 
the same as an XCBGenericEvent.  Once you have the event you have to cast 
it to the appropriate one.  Vincent wrote a really good tutorial.  You may 
want to look there, I believe a link is on our wiki (xcb.freedesktop.org).
