Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult b6c72bc9f5 treewide: clean up remaining consumers of extinit.h
Several sources including it without need. For consistency, those who still
need someting from there should include exitinit_priv.h (which also pulls
in extinit.h)

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:
