it turns out that xlib is going to copy the complete struct into
something internal. This might lead to the condition that a uninitalized
value might be part of the struct, and when later the struct is read
again the code might do wrong stuff since that value could be set now to
a randomly other meaningfull value.
This turned out on me in e as i could not write any letters like ßöäü,
since that lead to a not returning call to _XReply internal of xlib.
Dugging that showed that xlib was waiting on a reply of a call that
never got executed, and the XEvent it is waiting on just contians a
randomly correct value.
@fix
as per mailing list discussion about dropping xcb support now. it
hasn't been complete for a long time, thus not recommented for being
turned on. as we are moving to a wayland world xcbmakes even less
sense. as agreed, time to clean up a bit and remove a distraction as
well as not well tested code. this also updates po's too.
