Fix write to uninitialized bytes for XCB event

Browse Source 
As the xcb_send_event man page [1] states,

  In order to properly initialize these bytes, we allocate 32 bytes
  even though we only need less for an xcb_configure_notify_event_t

This commit fixes the following Valgrind error, which could be
triggered by selecting a letter in LyX:
