Thanks for the info.

That's quite plausible - I did look at the code above, but I was unaware of how likely (or unlikely) it would be for the various #defines and run-time checks to be satisfied.

This raises the question of what the interaction is between this entry point ('xcb_poll_for_queued_event') and support for threaded OpenGL however.
