Oh well,
    gdkevents-x11.c: _gdk_events_queue() confims this; XNextEvent is
used to obtain the event (making it lost forever). (Although I wonder
if xlib will let me snoop the event queue in a convenient way)

but like you said; it shouldn't be all that hard to reconstruct;
especially since I have the gdkevents-x11 code to work with :)
