Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 41d02211d4 Xext: security: drop swapping request length fields
The request struct's length fields aren't used anymore - we have the
client->req_len field instead, which also is bigreq-compatible.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
