DESCRIPTION
While a client using Xlib/XCB can issue requests and handle their replies or
errors with either Xlib or XCB, only one can own and handle the event queue.
By default, Xlib must own the event queue, for compatibility with legacy Xlib
clients.
Clients can call
XSetEventQueueOwner immediately after
XOpenDisplay to let XCB own the event queue instead.
Clients may not
call
XSetEventQueueOwner at any other time, as this will potentially
lose responses.
