From peer review

I list here the comments from the peer review:

  1. organization of headers (ask); why is Extensions at the bottom?
  2. overall protocol (diagrams: start/request+reply/event/error)
  3. citing of sources and linking

Title

"X Window core protocol" - should the title be "X Window System core protocol"? - David Gerard 13:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would be the correct title, indeed. I shortened it a little because it seemed to long to me. We also have some other articles where the name is abbreviated (X window manager instead of X Window System window manager). Anyway, X Window System core protocol is fine to me as well. - Liberatore(T) 14:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who's first

The connection is established by the client.

Imagine a user (on the server) that wants to start a new program (client). Wouldn't this mean that the connection first must be established by the server? --Abdull 20:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abdull. How you start a new program is something that depends on the particular configuration you are using, but is not done via the X core protocol. For example, you may start a client in an xterm (which means that the program is launched by the xterm shell) or from a root window menu (which means that the X window manager starts it) or from a ssh shell. Once the client starts, it connects to the server. As an example, to run a program on a different computer using ssh, one would:
  • establish a ssh connection from the server to the client computer
  • start the program there
  • the program connects to the server via the X core protocol
In short, it is the X core protocol connection that is started by the client. Launching the client is not something included in the X core protocol. Tizio 11:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Tizio - your answer was exactly what I was looking for! --Abdull 18:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
