This document provides the protocol-level specification of the minimal conventions needed to ensure that X Version 11 clients can interoperate properly. This document specifies interoperability conventions only for the X Version 11 protocol. Clients should be aware of other protocols that should be used for better interoperation in the X environment. The reader is referred to X Session Management Protocol for information on session management, and to Inter-Client Exchange Protocol for information on general-purpose communication among clients.
The X Consortium maintains a registry of certain X-related items, to aid in
avoiding conflicts and in sharing of such items. Readers are
encouraged to use the registry. The classes of items kept in the registry
that are relevant to the ICCCM include property names, property types,
selection names, selection targets, WM_PROTOCOLS protocols,
