One suggestion/request to people writing X code (both V10 and V11): please use XCloseDisplay() instead of relying on the kernel to clean up your connections after your process exits. Aside from being conceptually cleaner there are already X servers in the world that employ user-level transport mechanisms that may take awhile to recognize when a peer goes away. Not closing the connection yourself can result in windows hanging on the screen for some period of time.
