[Xcb] Problem with XCBImagePut

Hey,

In case you don't know, there's a tutorial in xcb/doc/tutorial

Otherwise, you can follow some Xlib tutorials up to some points.

Indeed, we have to add that check. I'll do it

Indeed. I'll fix it.

I'll try to look at that problem when I find some time.

thank you
