Programmer viewpoint
	Are we having background pixmaps and borders?  Should be always client drawn, yes?
	Non-rectangular windows and an equivalent for the Shape extension
	Tracing, debugging, performance hooks	libXtst, xev, xscope, x11perf
	Selections as distributed lock manager mediated by XServer
		Not aware of any examples outside of System Tray, XSettings, Compositing manager
	Use of root window properties and top-level application window properties as general inter-client communication
		Do an "xprop -root" and "xprop" on an application window on your favorite system to see how much this is used
