Uli Schlachter 8584c0e095 send_fds(): Handle too many outstanding FDs to send 
Before this patch, the following code caused an endless loop in send_fds(),
because the queue of FDs to send was eventually full, but _xcb_out_flush_to()
didn't make any progress, since there was no request to send:

   while (1) { xcb_send_fd(conn, dup(some_fd)); }

Fix this by sending a sync when flushing didn't make any progress. That way we
actually have something to send and can attach the pending FDs.

Because send_fds() can now send requests, the code in
xcb_send_request_with_fds64() has to be changed. It has to call send_fds()
before it establishes a good sequence number for the request it wants to send.

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.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
