When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
The type member is set to the event type
constant name that uniquely identifies it.
For example, when the X server reports a
GraphicsExpose event to a client application,
it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure
with the type member set to GraphicsExpose.
The display member is set to a pointer
to the display the event was read on.
The send_event member is set to True
if the event came from a SendEvent protocol request.
The serial member is set from the serial number
reported in the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit
least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.
The window member is set to the window
that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The requestor member is set to the window
associated with the requestor of the selection.
The selection member is set to
the atom that indicates the selection.
For example, PRIMARY is used for the primary selection.
The target member is set to the atom
that indicates the converted type.
For example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap.
The property member is set to the atom that
indicates which property the result was stored on.
If the conversion failed,
the property member is set to None.
The time member is set to the time the conversion
took place and can be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
