== Who's first ==

'''The connection is established by the client.'''

Imagine a user (on the server) that wants to start a new program (client). Wouldn't this mean that the connection first must be established by the server? --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] 20:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

:Hi Abdull. How you start a new program is something that depends on the particular configuration you are using, but is not done via the X core protocol. For example, you may start a client in an xterm (which means that the program is launched by the xterm shell) or from a root window menu (which means that the [[X window manager]] starts it) or from a [[Secure Shell|ssh]] shell. Once the client starts, it connects to the server. As an example, to run a program on a different computer using ssh, one would:

:*establish a ssh connection from the server to the client computer

:*start the program there

:*the program connects to the server via the X core protocol

:In short, it is the X core protocol connection that is started by the client. Launching the client is not something included in the X core protocol. [[User talk:Tizio|Tizio]] 11:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

:: Thank you, Tizio - your answer was exactly what I was looking for! --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] 18:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

== Error in example? ==

"For example, if a client creates a window of identifier 0x1e00021 and [...]" but 3 paragraphs above states "Identifiers are 32-bit integers with their three most significant bits equal to zero", so how could the identifier end with 0xb001?

Sorry.. MOST significant bits.. not the least significant.. Can someone delete this please..?

== because of the new CSS, table of content can not be hidden when printing ==

Could you please, PLEASE change back to the "old" CSS for the page. This would be VERY appreciated! THANKS! Kind regards! [[Special:Contributions/2001:6B0:E:2B18:0:0:0:72|2001:6B0:E:2B18:0:0:0:72]] ([[User talk:2001:6B0:E:2B18:0:0:0:72|talk]]) 17:08, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

== In appropriate content of "Unspecified parts" ==

All the examples in this section are outside the scope of the X11 protocol; it's not different from saying that a road has unspecified parts because it doesn't tell you the colour of the cars that drive on it. The X11 protocol is about interacting with windows and not, explicitly, about the content of these windows.

I propose to remove the section entirely. [[Special:Contributions/5.103.219.89|5.103.219.89]] ([[User talk:5.103.219.89|talk]]) 21:33, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
