Re: X11 binding with FSF version of gnat

[jim hopper <hopperj@macconnect.com>]

Hi,

thanks that sounds really cool and i will look forward to being able to
use it. 

Until then we did find the problem with x bindings with the fsf version
of gnat.  well perhaps not the reason but two patches that seem to
work.  two of us are still discussing which of our patches is the right
way ;-)

one solution changed the xevent system to use unchecked_union and the
other changed the sample programs using the bindings to type coerce the
various types of the xevent variant record to the proper variant before
trying to use it based upon the common type field.  both seem to work
fine on the examples and i am not sure which is the proper fix to
release.
