I think you misinterpreted me slightly: I didn't mean to ask "why XCB when we have an Xlib binding?", I'm asking "why do we need either?". Who is going to use it? Is someone planning to write a widget set in Haskell?

I think having an Xlib module is important; there's low-level stuff you might need to do in Xlib that isn't practical to do using GTK/Qt. Or you might want to build a light-weight application. Etc, etc.

Or, rather, you want to write a window manager. This is already work in progress by sjanssen. Cheers, Lennart Kolmodin
