And that's wrong. For normal events the full_sequence field will be
appended to the event structure, here for XGE events we inject it into
the event structure. That's a problem for everything else than
c_client.py/libxcb as they may not know about the field and overwrite
this "gap" with event data.

Anyone knows about something using libxcb and relying on the
full_sequence field being at the 32byte boundary? Cause I would like to
move this field to the beginning (first field) of all event structures
in libxcb.
