Line 51:
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 display manager]] starts it) or from a [[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)
