All the MITSHM extension does is to provide a second interface for transferring images between the client and the server, i.e. there's a second set of functions for XGetImage()/XPutImage() using the MITSHM extension. This is to say you: o the client must be aware of the MITSHM extension in order to use it o don't confuse this with a shm-based local transport protocol some commercial vendors have implemented into their servers -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
