There, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be any include files that have
this entity (i.e. SETofPOINTEREVENT) defined.
We're talking C here, remember. :-)
And why do I get a protocol error when specifying a font directory without
a fonts.dir file?
Errors generated by SetFontPath are implementation dependent. The R4
sample server chooses to generate an error if you specify a directory
that has neither a fonts.dir or a fonts.alias file; the existence of
one of these files, in a parsable format, is the "definition" of a
good font path element in the sample server.klee@chico.pa.dec.com (Ken Lee) (12/23/89)

You missed EnterWindow, LeaveWindow, and KeymapState. The list is on p. 349 of the Digital Press book and in the protocol manual on the X11R3 tape.

BadCursor is a protocol error from XCreateWindow or XCreateSimpleWindow. What is probably happening is that the window attributes mask argument specifies CWCursor but that the actual .cursor element of the attributes structure is not being initialized before the call. The appropriate solution in this case is to #include <X11/cursorfont.h> and then set <WindowAttributes>.cursor = XCreateFontCursor(display,cursor_shape) where cursor_shape is one of the cursor type constants defines in cursorfont.h. The <WindowAtributes> structure is the last argument passed to XCreateWindow, the attributes mask is the next to last argument.
