Jamey Sharp af50de26c1 Revert "Generate error constants as XCB_BAD_*, similar to Xlib." 
Since several extensions named their errors like "BadFoo", this patch
results in names like XCB_EXT_BAD_BAD_FOO, which is really awful. Those
extensions are already kind of awful, as they produce structure names
like xcb_ext_bad_foo_error_t, which is redundant.

A patch that removes "Bad" from the XML extension descriptions, while
maintaining API and ABI compatibility in XCB, is needed before this
patch can be released.

This reverts commit 158c9b6ba1.

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 library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- 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:
