The example code I've seen looks really nice - and it would be easy to
completely port the current code. Just replace each xlib call with a
corresponding x11 call - at least on my X11 install here xlib is just a
layer on top of xcb anyway. Probably could even do it with (a lot of
ugly) #ifdef magic to have both xlib and xcb work - but that would be
pointless. If we want to convert, then only to completely abandon xlib.
So the question really is how widespread it already is. Does anyone here
not have support for it?
One thing though, just when I thought you can't do much worse with
documentation than X11 (except alsa), well, XCB is a new low. Behold
their complete official API documentation:
http://xcb.freedesktop.org/XcbApi/
(There's XML files describing the protocol and therefore all commands,
so supposedly there is a way to auto-generate docs from that, but the
XML itself is hard to find and there's no description how to create docs
from it.)
