Xlib these days is built on top of XCB

Actually that's the lie that I was talking about. And they haven't
removed it to this day.

The current OpenGL implementations are not compatible with
XSetEventQueueOwner[1] so that hack as horrible as it is doesn't even
work.

Actually, the suggestion to open separate Xlib and XCB connections is
an EVEN BETTER idea. That way you can keep the crap cleanly isolated
away, so that the Xlib junk only has to be responsible for a single
rectangle, which you can abstract away with a fairly minimal amount of
code.
