Sadly, I cannot recall any way you can get the Xlib Display
state right with the existing API, no. Probably such a
thing is achievable if you're careful, but non-trivial;
you'd have to go through all the Display fields and make
sure they matched the XCB connection's view.
Anyone else remember if we had some clever trick for this?
