| 1 | X Server |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, |
| 4 | which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program |
| 5 | can draw into. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server |
| 8 | (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, |
| 9 | which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons |
| 10 | and draggable titlebars and borders. |
