The xcb function is simply xcb_change_property, for just about
everything in ICCCM and EWMH. Core libxcb is very low level, and
deliberately avoids trying to provide helper functions.

That said, functions for setting WM_TRANSIENT_FOR (and other ICCCM
hints) could be a useful addition to the xcb/util/icccm helper
library. Patches welcome.
