The thing is, c_client.py is really hard to follow and understand,
particularly after support for switch-cases and other more difficult
stuff was added for xkb. And all of these things were added back then,
it seems, without much thought for maintainability (don't get me wrong
though - something is better than nothing!). So it requires a lot of
time to give a proper review, if you want to understand what's going on.

I will try to review your further changes, but I don't know when. I'm
really looking forward to having working xinput and complete xkb.
Hopefully an XCB dev will chime in and you can come up with a plan for
merging the changes.
