Awesome, thanks for the sample.

Note that XCBGenericRep is a generic reply, not a generic response. The
term "response" is used to refer to any reply, error, or event.

Were you planning on including documentation on internal APIs here? If
not, it's kind of weird that the file list has xcbint.h and all the
source files. It should arguably cover only xcb.h, xcbext.h, and
xcbxlib.h. Possibly it should also cover xproto.h and others, but only
if you can auto-generate part or all of that documentation from the
original XML.

I think your tutorial is the place for code samples, etc. A link to your
tutorial wouldn't be a bad thing for the main page of the API
documentaiton though.

I'm not sure I understand this. You mean if the functions have planned
interface changes? At this point, if I could remember that I planned to
change the interface, I've done it already.
