We can't have high keycodes because everything in XKB relies on 8 bits. XI2's
API allows for 32-bit keycodes so we have to take those but nothing in the
server is really ready for this. The effect of this right now is that any high
keycode grab is clipped to 255 and thus ends up grabbing a different key
instead.

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.
