If supplied, the client_major_version and client_minor_version indicate what version of the protocol the application wants the server to implement. The server version numbers returned indicate the version of the protocol the X server actually supports. This may not match the versions requested by the application. An implementation may (but need not) support more than one version simultaneously. The server_major_version and server_minor_version numbers are a mechanism to support any future revisions of the Application Group extension protocol which may be necessary. In general, the major version would increment for incompatible changes, and the minor version would increment for small, upward-compatible changes. X servers that support the protocol defined in this document will return a server_major_version of 1 and a server_minor_version of 0.

This request creates an Application Group using app_group as the Application Group ID.

The value_mask and value_list specify attributes of the Application Group that are to be explicitly initialized. The attributes, their types, and the default values are:

If the single_screen attribute is True then the number of video screens returned to a program in the Application Group in the connection setup message is one, irrespective of how many video screens the server actually has. If a server supports both video and print screens, then all print screens will always be returned. If single_screen is specified as True then the connection setup message will contain only the information about the video screen which has default_root as its root window, plus any print screens.

If single_screen is set to True default_root specifies which screen will be returned as screen zero in the connection setup message for applications in the Application Group. If set to None, then the real screen zero is used, otherwise the screen which has default_root as its root window will be used.

If single_screen is set to True the root_visual and default_colormap attributes may be used to over-ride the default values that are returned in the connection setup information returned to new programs in the Application Group. If None is specified for root_visual or default_colormap then the normal default values for the screen (possibly specified by default_root) are used, otherwise the specified values are used. If root_visual and/or default_colormap are specified they must be valid, i.e. root_visual must be a visual type available on the screen, and the colormap, if specified, must be a valid colormap for the visual that is used.

If single_screen is set to True and default_colormap is not specified as None, the black_pixel and white_pixel attributes must be specified, and they will over-ride the default values that are returned in the connection setup returned to new programs in the Application Group. If default_colormap is specified as None and black_pixel and/or white_pixel are specified, they will be ignored.

The app_group_leader attribute is used to identify the Application Group Leader program for the app_group. By specifying True the server will identify the program making the request as the Application Group Leader for the application group. The Application Group Leader receives MapRequest and ConfigureRequest events from the server when an attempt is made to map or configure top-level windows of a program in an Application Group, instead of being sent to a window manager that has selected SubstructureRedirect events on the root window. The parent window field in these events will contain the Application Group ID.

This request destroys the app_group. If the app_group_leader attribute for the app_group is True, then any applications in the Application Group that are still connected will be killed as if a KillClient request had been received for that application.

This request returns the application group attributes for app_group.

This request returns the Application Group ID of the application that created resource or None if that application is not associated with any Application Group. The resource value may be the resource base of the application.

This request associates window with system_window. The window_type indicates the native window system of the application making the request. For non-X window_types both the embedding manager and the server must be executing on the same host. When system_window is Microsoft Windows or OS/2 Presentation Manager, the system_window is an HWND; when the native window system is Macintosh, the system_window is a WindowPtr and a Rect. The window may be used for any X request that takes a Window.

This request destroys the association created with AppGroupCreateAssociation. The window is destroyed. The system_window that was specified in the AppGroupCreateAssociation request is not affected.
