Re: CLUE and CLX



       CLX programmers actually get handed these ids in
       event-handler routines.
   
   Yes, there were efficiency arguments here, perhaps inconsequential ones.
   
       They don't tell you what to do with them thought
       (like how to lookup the associated xlib:window object).
   
   The CLX doc does tell you to use make-window to perform this mapping.

Just to set the record straight, CLX does NOT use resource ID's in
event-handler routines.  Event handlers get passed objects, which are
even interned in a hash table to reduce consing.  The alpha version of
CLX passed resource ID's, but it was changed in Sept. 87 to pass objects
(structures).  CLX does not export make-window, because there's never a
need to use it.  It looks like the documentation needs cleaning up.
