Thank you very much! I will ruminate more on this and read on error handling and events until I can write something intelligible about this.</div>

Meanwhile I would like to point out that the struct I was talking about has the following members: major_opcode, pad0 (no idea what this is nor how it is used), length (length of the request?), and window (I kknow this is supposed to reference the window that
is supposed to be unmapped).</div>

<br>
checked vs unchecked requests are explained here (under the heading of<br>
the same name):<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/3-xcb-requests/">https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/3-xcb-requests/</a><br>
<br>
The short version is: This only makes a difference for X11 error<br>
handling. With unchecked requests, any errors show up as events in e.g.<br>
xcb_wait_for_event(). With checked requests, errors are provided when<br>
getting the reply (or calling xcb_check_request()).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Uli<br>

<alanc> I think someone had a Xprint version of glxgears at one point,<br>
but benchmarking how many GL pages you can print per second<br>
was deemed too silly to merge<br>
