XCB as a replacement for XLib anyone?

Hi All,

I'm taking a look at XNextEvent et al (specifically to see if meta events can be delivered on key down, not on key up) and I see that XCB is an interesting alternative to XLib. Has anyone taken a look at writing an XCB subsystem, e.g.platforms/unix/vm-display-X11_XCB?

Re: XCB as a replacement for XLib anyone?

Lots of interest, but no time.

My primary interest is in decoupling Squeak from Morphic so that it runs "nativelly" in X. I saw this on news.ycombinator.com and bookmarked it for when/if I do get time.

Good luck with it and thanks for all your work on Cog/Spur.
