"So I'm declaring Xlib/XCB usable, aside from one irritating bug that I
haven't figured out how to track down yet (some apps sometimes hang
until an event is recieved). It'd help a lot if people would try
building freedesktop.org's Xlib with `configure --with-xcb`, and let me
know whether it works for them as a drop-in replacement for normal Xlib."

Current known Xlib/XCB bugs:
* Internal connections are broken, which I think means input methods won't work.
* Apps sometimes hang until an event is received.
* Last I checked, the display managers I tested crashed"
"Non-technical/non-Linux people, feel free to skip this paragraph: For those who want to know, it's libX11's 1.1 release, which builds libX11 on top of XCB, the new low-level X library and protocol. There seems to be several deadlocks involved in waiting for responses from the X server."
Further research seems to indicate to me that this is a known issue with XCB/Xlib since 2004.
