I tried to modify the protocol to have an all encompassing
XIModifyTouchEventDelivery, but it just seemed like trying to shove too
much into one request. It also wouldn't allow one to query such delivery
state modifications.

Should we introduce new requests like XI{S,G}etEventDeliveryFlags? I'm
thinking the delivery modification should occur client-wide, meaning two
different selections would behave the same way no matter what.
