The closest I've written was a brief overview of a couple Xlib->xcb ports
at https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc/entry/porting_xwininfo_to_xcb (which I later
adapted for use in http://www.x.org/wiki/guide/xlib-and-xcb/ .)

More detailed examples would seem to be useful - it's always just been a matter
of time to get it all done.
