Peter Hutterer 6532c715c3 Add xcb_ge_event_t and handling for long events.
GenericEvent can be more than 32 bytes long. Ensure that the required data is
pulled off the wire and tack it onto the event.

Due to the structure of the xcb_generic_event_t, the data is appended AFTER
the full_sequence field.

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
