While trying to improve the appearance of interactive drags,
I found I wanted to enquire from the X11r2 server what its current
time was; that is, ask it what timestamp it would put on an event
if one should happen right now.  I can't find any reference to
such a call in the Xlib manuals.

Maybe the facility *is* there and I'm just not looking hard enough,
or maybe there is some good reason why no such call exists.

Can anyone enlighten me?
