Given what I learned on the xwininfo port I took a quick pass across

I am *not* volunteering to do these all, just offering some insight into
which are going to be easier/harder/not possible and hoping that others
will step up to do some of these.
At least at a quick glance, I think these could be fairly straightforward
to port to XCB, though whether it's worth the effort for all of them is
debatable:
backlight, ico, xcmsdb, xcompmgr, xdriinfo, xhost, xinit, xkill,
xrandr, xrdb, xrefresh, xrestop, xsetroot, xshowdamage, xstdcmp,
xvinfo, xwd, xwud
Arnaud Fontaine wrote an XCB-based composite manager. Is it necessary to
port xcompmgr ?
xcompmgr is a nice example of a tiny compositor manager. My quickly at
Arnaud's tells that it isn't that much.
Iirc, Arnaud's code is well documented. Last time i checked xcompmgr code,
it was a real mess. No doc, no design description, etc... Maybe it has
changed. If not and if there is a port to XCB, perhaps it would be also
good to document the way a composite maanger should be written
