This inaccurate sentence has survived several revisions... Visuals don't
change, only what the hardware accelerates changes.

Missing SETOFVISUALSET to give size-set[n].visual-group something to
reference.

Could this contain both a timestamp of when the event occured *and* a
timestamp for the configuration data? That way clients wouldn't need to
call RRGetScreenInfo unless the available configurations had changed.

I think the encoding will have just enough space for this...
