Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult e7291758ac (submit/xext-saver) Xext: saver: use explicit switch/case for dispatching
It's more robust / easier understandable programming style to use explicit
switch statements, case'ing on the constants defined in the protocol header,
instead of implicitly via a some opaque call table. It's also done this
way in the other extensions, so making the code a bit more consistent.

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
