A map of X11



Hi folks,

I've started looking at adding very basic accessibility support in the
server but I'm having a hard time internalizing the design of the
server itself.  I can't figure out what the boundaries of the various
modules/processes/threads are.  It would be *really* helpful if
somebody (named Ben or Jeremy ;^) would write up a quick map of X11.
It doesn't have to be ultra-detailed, but it would help to know:

* What processes are running (Xquartz, X11, etc?)

* What their roles are

* Some kind of block-diagram-like description of the components of the
server as it relates to OS X.  (Meaning, no need to go into the
various X protocol extensions and things that are part of the X server
on all platforms, just "this module translates Quartz events to X
events" and so on.)

* What the various directories in the darwin portion of the source are for

Once this document exists, it would be nice to add it to git so the
project was a little more self-documenting.

Cheers,
-n8
