Chapter 9: Window and Session Manager Functions

Although it is difficult to categorize functions as exclusively for an application, a window manager, or a session manager, the functions in this chapter are most often used by window managers and session managers. It is not expected that these functions will be used by most application programs. Xlib provides management functions to:

• Change the parent of a window

• Control the lifetime of a window

• Manage installed colormaps

• Set and retrieve the font search path

• Grab the server

• Kill a client

• Control the screen saver

• Control host access
