I did some searching and found that this problem is fairly widespread,
but I wasn't able to find a solution to it.
Basically, ever since I upgraded to libxcb-1.4 yesterday, whenever I
launch an application in Xorg, be that firefox, acroread, gimp, etc, I
get:
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
The applications still run fine but take a long time to load. Now, I
confess that I am still running
xorg-server-1.5.3-r6
xorg-x11-7.2
nvidia-drivers-180.60
gentoo-sources-2.6.27-gentoo-r8
Is this because I did not upgrade to xorg-server-1,6 with the new
versions of x11 libraries installed, or is that a bug in the new
version of the libraries somewhere?

The xorg-server upgrade and the libxcb upgrade go together as pair.
You need to upgrade the server now -- carefully following the upgrade
guide, please.

Thanks - I will do that. But the upgrade guide doesn't have anything
in it, except how to enable Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc to kill the server...

As a related question, does the kernel need to be upgraded from
2.6.27-gentoo-r8 (i686) for the xorg-server-1.6 upgrade? I think the
bulletin mentioned upgrade necessary on an alpha, so I just wanted to
check if I will have all functionality without doing kernel upgrade...
Thank you - sorry for the dumb question

The tricky part is the libxcb upgrade guide. Did you do all the stuff
it says when upgrading libxcb?
I don't know about the kernel upgrade because I'm running a very recent
kernel anyway.

Indeed, with your help, my upgrade for libxcb is complete and appears
successful. :-)
