dix: Correctly save replayed event into GrabInfoRec When processing events we operate on InternalEvent pointers. They may actually refer to a an instance of DeviceEvent, GestureEvent or any other event that comprises the InternalEvent union. This works well in practice because we always look into event type before doing anything, except in the case of copying the event. *dst_event = *src_event would copy whole InternalEvent event and would cause out of bounds read in case the pointed to event was not InternalEvent but e.g. DeviceEvent.

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) “virtual screens” that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
