+					X Server
+
+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.
+
+For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
+following article:
