[comp.windows.x] Server <-> WM <-> Client

75046.606@CompuServe.COM (Larry W. Virden) (09/15/89)

I am looking for a clear, but perhaps slightly simplified, explanation
of the data flow of transactions between a server, client, and window
manager with regard to a user's selection of program launch of a
program from a window manager's menu, to the creation of the client, to
the request for a window, to the actual creation of the window.  I
am trying to understand when the "window" gets created , how the server
knows when to actually do it, etc.
