Why does XGetWindowAttributes (the Xlib function) actually make two
protocol requests? (GetWindowAttributes and GetGeometry)

After all there is an XGetGeometry Xlib function for the info from the
GetGeometry request. So what's the point in making
XGetWindowAttributes not correspond exactly to the info from the
GetWindowAttributes request?

Am I missing something obvious?
