After installing xcb/proto, download xcb/libxcb and run "make" to
generate src/randr.c which will contain this function.

There's no real need, though, since all the xcb_*_reply() functions do
the same thing: "return (cast to correct pointer) xcb_wait_for_reply()".

If xcb_randr_get_screen_info_reply is taking 40% of the time, there are
one (or more) of two things going on:

1) Qt has issued all of its requests, and this is the first one it waits
for the reply to. Your profiler isn't correctly attributing the network
round-trip time to xcb_wait_for_reply (and probably mostly select/poll,
although there's some bookkeeping in there too). The rest of the replies
appear fast because they arrive at the same time as the
xcb_randr_get_screen_info_reply does. If you delete the call to
xcb_randr_get_screen_info_reply, the round-trip time will be attributed
to the next xcb_*_reply call.

and/or

2) Qt is calling xcb_randr_get_screen_info(_reply) more than once, and
it really shouldn't (modulo subsequent RandR events).
