Lower-level libraries, such as [[XCB]], provide asynchronous access to the protocol, allowing better latency hiding.
 
==Unspecified parts==
==What the X Window System core protocol does not specify==
 
The X Window System core protocol does not mandate over inter-client communication and does not specify how windows are used to form the visual elements that are common in graphical user interfaces ([[Button (computing)|button]]s, [[Menu (computing)|menu]]s, etc.) Graphical user interface elements are defined by client libraries realizing [[widget toolkit]]s. Inter-client communication is covered by other standards such as the [[ICCCM]] and [[freedesktop]] specifications.<ref name="free-desk" />
