Hi Xavier,

XCB questions should be directed to the xcb mailing list: 
xcb at lists.freedesktop.org.

You probably shouldn't be mixing xlib and xcb functions within the same 
program.  You also can't really convert types between the two without some 
pain.

There is a function XGetXCBConnection with the newer libX11 that will give 
you an xcb_connection_t but as far as I know only mesa uses it.
