The MIT's X11R4 server under SunOS claims to have MIT-SHM, I am assumeing that
it is a way for clients to talk to the X server & that Xlib takes care of using
it.  If that's true when does Xlib decide to use it?  On connections to
"unix:0", or to ":0" (well "unix:N[.M]", etc)?  Is it faster then UDS, or is
it just for SysV's without UDS?  (UDS=Unix Domain Sockets)

Also what is included in MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD, it includes the MIT-COOKIE-1
auth. protocall, does it have anything else?

I'm willing to RTFM for all of this, but I can't find a FM for this stuff...
