I know very little about GLX, but I'm guessing the folks
here who do are all off list on vacation or something, so
here's what I can figure out...

It looks like the get_fb_configs_reply should be passed to
get_fb_configs_property_list to actually extract the
property list data.  The properties seem to just be of type
uint32_t, so you should be able to just say something
generic like

   uint32_t *props = xcb_glx_get_fb_configs_property_list(reply);
   uint32_t n = xcb_glx_get_fb_configs_property_list_length(reply);
   uint32_t i;
   for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
       process(props[i]);

Actually, I'm not so sure that properties aren't supposed to
be xcb_glx_bool32_t.  Also, I don't see any obvious way to
construct an initial iterator for the properties---there's
an end iterator, but no obvious initial or next iterator.
Maybe somebody could look at the GLX spec and see that
everything is good here and I'm just confused?
