Is it even an option? I thought all of Awesome was written to use directly XCB
rather than X11.

Side note: I used to think that XCB was a rather pointless project when it was
still in the works. Now that XCB became the libX11 backend, migrating
applications and toolkits to XCB sounds like a nice way to simplify the X stack
a little and slightly reduce its associated overhead.

So I'm glad to see early adopters like Aswesome paving the road for the others
to follow.
