    I have a problem with the XCopyArea call of Xlib:
    Does this function support Tiling and Stippling?

No.  There's an easy way to determine this.  Look in the protocol spec
(e.g. page 410 in the Digital Press book) under the "GC components:"
section of the CopyArea request (and the lack of a "GC mode-dependent
components:".  Compare this, e.g., with PolyFillRectangle (page 416).
Notice that PolyFillRectangle references fill-style, tile, and stipple,
whereas CopyArea does not.
