[Xcb] Mixing xlib/xcb with self-generated protocol?

Hi Jamey,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Perfect, exactly what I am looking for :)

What I am concerned is interaction between independent socket users.
E.g. will it be possible to "call" XRenderFillRectangles on a Picture
which was created by Xlib by another user, or will it be even possible
to create server-side objects on both "sides"?

Thanks a lot, Clemens
