[Xcb] Sending Keyboard Events with XTest

Random guess: The connection is closed before the X11 server read your
latest requests. Basically (in terms of BSD socket API), your code does
a write() followed immediately by a close() of the socket. The other end
of the connection can handle the close() before all of the written data
was handled yet.

To fix this, make sure the X11 server really handled the request already:

free(xcb_get_input_focus_reply(c, xcb_get_input_focus(c), NULL));

or if you use xcb-aux

xcb_aux_sync(c);

Google gave me [0], does that count?

Basically, with XCB you only need the "raw protocol" docs. XCB does not
do anything fancy above the actual on-the-wire protocol. Xlib sometimes
does.

Cheers,
Uli
