I had a look and XCB, and it looks quite promising as a "better Xlib". What is 
not so clear to me is:

   * X.Org seems to use it as a basis for their Xlib implementation. Is this 
correct?

   * What about XFree86?

   * What about X11 implementations on *BSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.?

   * Is XCB 100% feature-complete compared to Xlib?

I guess that XCB is not widespread enough yet to drop the X11 package now, but 
I'd like to hear what others think. OTOH, a Haskell binding for XCB can 
probably be generated automatically to a large degree via XSLT, if I 
understand things correctly, which would be a big plus.

Cheers,
