>Description:
Almost every X-based program spits out loads of
 "Generic Event Extension" not available
messages.  Since I understand this extension has
never been implemented in any X.org server, it
seems kind of pointless and mostly serves only
to be annoying.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Attached patch converts the "test for Generic Extension" function
to use the XextHasExtension() test instead of the XextCheckExtension()
test (the latter always warns if the extension is unavailable).
This has no impact on functionality at all; it merely removes
the pointless warning.
