setClientMessageEvent doesn't call setEventType about x11 HOT 2 CLOSED

Er? You say other setXxxEvent functions set the event type, but they don't from my reading of the source, and from looking through the xmonad code it looks like every place a setXxxEvent is called there's also a setEventType call. So I wouldn't want to change setClientMessageEvent unless we changed all the other setXxxEvent functions as well.

As for the types, yes, these X11 bindings are very untyped. I'm open to applying a patch that adds some newtype goodness if you're up for it.

It turned out that the function I looked at (setSelectionNotify) is the only setXxxEvent function that does call setEventType. It is also inconsistently doesn't follow the common naming convention - it sets XSelectionEvent but it isn't called setSelectionEvent.
