I think that depends on what the recipient expects. As I recall, ICCCM
recommends zeroing all data members of the ClientMessage that you don't
understand, for forward-compatibility with later specs (like NetWM).
It's probably a good idea, anyway, and yet things would probably work
most of the time if you forget to do it.

You'd have to check the SendEvent documentation. I believe you need to
set response_type, but sequence will be overwritten by the server, so it
can be garbage.
