Event handlers

X events are also represented as structured objects with slot names which are directly translated from the C equivalent. The accessor functions are named by <event name>-<slot name>. Some examples:
(event-window event) This applies to all events
(event-type event) So does this
   
(button-event-x event) Some button event
(button-event-button event) accessors

At the moment, XClientMessage and XKeyMap events are not supported (they will be in the not too distant future).
