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.
|
|
|
|
