http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/events/types.html
points to X11/X.h as the keeper of X event types.

On a RHEL system (what is at hand presently) I see in there
#define LASTEvent       35    /* must be bigger than any event # */


So, event type 96 does not exist, AKA it is Unknown. :)

But it also reads like the demo's are setting the event type or using an event mask of that (in a
tight loop, probably the main loop).
