FTR, I'm going to revert the upstream changes to X.h and Xproto.h in
2.3.1, so if for some reason you need/want GenericEvent... well...
you'll have to wait until other software plays nicely with it.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Changing an API that's been stable for 20

Tk is the first to be reported".
X.org made the change, Apple just moved to the latest version of
X.org which contained this issue. Given this I'm willing to give
Apple (i.e. Jeremy) the benefit of the doubt here before blaming
them for this.
