The error message "Unknown sequence number while processing queue"
occurs in a chunk of text that has this big fat warning in front of it,
about threading safety in client code:

/* Thread-safety rules:                                                         
                      
 *                                                                              
                      
 * At most one thread can be reading from XCB's event queue at a time.          
                      
 * If you are not the current event-reading thread and you need to find         
                      
 * out if an event is available, you must wait.                                 
                      
 *                                                                              
                      
 * The same rule applies for reading replies.                                   
                      
 *                                                                              
                      
 * A single thread cannot be both the the event-reading and the                 
                      
 * reply-reading thread at the same time.                                       
                      
 *                                                                              
                      
 * We always look at both the current event and the first pending reply         
                      
 * to decide which to process next.                                             
                      
 *                                                                              
                      
 * We always process all responses in sequence-number order, which may          
                      
 * mean waiting for another thread (either the event_waiter or the              
                      
 * reply_waiter) to handle an earlier response before we can process or         
                      
 * return a later one. If so, we wait on the corresponding condition            
                      
 * variable for that thread to process the response and wake us up.             
                      
 */

This seems to suggest perhaps this client application could have some
faulty logic in its thread handling as relating to the xcb calls?
