[Xcb] Co-existence of xcb and xlib event handling?

Hi,

I'm currently looking at incrementally porting an xlib based application to
xcb.
I'm particularly keen to do this so that it can recover from I/O errors
that are
fatal for Xlib.

My understanding is that I can only take advantage of xcb's error handling
if I
switch my event handling to xcb. However, the application makes significant
use
of xinput, which currently has no xcb binding (although I see it might
happen
during SoC). Is there any way that I can switch to xcb event handling while
still being able to use my xinput code to handle xinput events?

Thanks,

--phil
