What I would like to be able to do is to supply a depth 1 tiling
pixmap and have the server replicate the tile on the destination
no matter what depth the destination is.  Without that kind of
functionality I need to have a tile of every possible destination
depth on hand.  While this is not an awful hardship in this
particular case, I don't understand why the protocol doesn't
(I assume it doesn't) provide support for 1->N (N>1) tiling.
copy-plane, for example, does copy from a single plane to
a destination that need not be of depth 1.  However, since the
restriction on tiling is that the tile pixmap must be of the
same depth as the destination drawable, I cannot use copy-plane
for this purpose.

This, at least, is my understanding. Perhaps I am misunderstanding
the way things work.  Thanks for any enlightenment.
