what I does:

xcb_client_message_event_t ev;

i fill ev. For example:

    ev.response_type = XCB_CLIENT_MESSAGE | 0x80;
    ev.format = 32;
    ev.sequence = 0;
    ev.window = window;
    ev.type = ECORE_X_ATOM_WM_PROTOCOLS;
    ev.data.data32[0] = ECORE_X_ATOM_NET_WM_PING;
    ev.data.data32[1] = _ecore_xcb_event_last_time;
    ev.data.data32[2] = window;
    ev.data.data32[3] = 0;
    ev.data.data32[4] = 0;
    ev.data.data32[5] = 0;

then i send the event:

    xcb_send_event(_ecore_xcb_conn, 0, window, XCB_EVENT_MASK_NO_EVENT, 
(const char *)&ev);

It works quite well. Adapt this code to what you want.
