1，A window manager is a regular X client.
2，A window manager communicates with the windows it manages through two X mechanisms: properties and events.
3，Windows are organized into a tree hierarchy.
4，A window manager manages top level windows – that is, direct children of the root window.

5，The mechanism that allows a window manager to intercept such requests is called substructure redirection.
6，Redirection means that an event is sent to the client selecting redirection (usually the window manager), and the original structure−changing request is not executed.

7，The Composite extension provides a mechanism to request the X server not to render a specific window and its descendants directly to hardware, but to a special buffer maintained by the X server, and do so without the normal clipping and overlap computations. This buffer can then be read and used by the client that made the request.

3，There are two official C libraries for X: Xlib and XCB.

4，Xlib, hailing from 1985, was the original X client library, and was the only official X client library until the introduction of XCB in 2001.
5，The two libraries have very different philosophies: whereas Xlib tries to hide the X protocol behind a friendly C API with lots of bells and whistles, XCB directly exposes the plumbing beneath. Xlib attempts to hide the asynchronous X protocol behind a mixed synchronous and asynchronous API, whereas XCB exposes a fully asynchronous API.
简言之：Xlib做了封装，XCB暴露更多，所以显得更底层。Xlib同步调用，而XCB异步调用。
实测xcb_get_image性能比XGetImage高3-4倍。

6，However, it is important to note that Xlib isn’t fully synchronous. Rather, Xlib has a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous APIs. In general, functions that do not return values (e.g., XResizeWindow, which changes the size of a window) are asynchronous, while functions that return values (e.g., XGetGeometry, which return the size and position of a window) are synchronous
Xlib并非完全同步，没有返回值的函数调用为异步，有返回值的函数调用为同步。
