In V10, each create window cost you a round trip to get the window id, unless you had a clever routine to batch up the requests and get the pile of replys all at once. XCreateWindows was a work around in V10 to get around the round trip. In V11, resource ID's are allocated by the client, so no round trip is required to create a window. Since the interface no longer would have provided any advantage, it was removed on simplicity grounds. Jim Gettys
