Hi! This is the first of a series of msgs that have come up while preparing
an overview of X.  P.S.  if you know of online availability of info
for such a presentation, please contact me!

How many transactions are there within the X protocol? Since there is only
a one byte field, isnt this going to be restraining in the future as the
number of transactions grow?

Are there xlib routines which do not generate a unique transaction?

What future expansion is expected to occur within Xlib?

What are the typical sizes of transactions

Note that what I am referring to as transactions are the individual
'x protocol packets' sent.

Thanks!
