I'm having what appears to be a common problem but not of the solutions I've found on various forums and threads have worked for me. I noticed this issue after I configured my system to use the en_US.utf8 locale but it's possible that this issue existed before that change. Note that in

Hi, I just ran in a couple of bugs because my code assumes sizeof(XID)==4 on all platforms which doesn't seem to hold on AMD64. Whats the reason for XID to be 8bytes (unsigned long) on AMD64, I thought an x-id (in protocol sence) is defined as 4 bytes anyway? Will Xlib/xcb ever return values

Hi Matthieu, Thanks for your explanation =) This is a mistake done 25 years ago or so. It's hard to justify it, but it is so. A number of things that are 32 bits on the wire are represented as 64 bits long at the API level on LP64 machines. Is it considered more or less safe to store those
