[Xcb] Endianness question

[Julien Danjou]

Hi people,

I'm facing a bug in xcb-util, which is very probably caused by an
endianness issue.
For people following at home, the problem is in xcb-icccm, function
xcb_get_wm_hints_from_reply().

The result of xcb_get_property_value() is memcpy()'ed to a struct,
directly. The problem is, I think, that if this work well on x86 (little
endian), it totally fails on ppc (big endian) for example.

I used to think that XCB or X took care of always sending data in the
same endianness, but it seems I'm wrong.

What's the good way to fix such a issue (if I'm right that
this is the issue) ?

Cheers,
