<h1 class="chapter">5 Event Handling</h1>

<p>Events are sent from the X server to the X client. Most of the event

types deal with user input, but there are also event types used for

inter-client communication.

</p>

<p>Most X applications are built around an event loop, where the client

waits for the server to send events. The client responds to the events,

typically by doing one or more X requests.
