See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge The Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual is one of the official X Consortium standards documents that define the X environment. It describes the conventions that clients must observe to coexist peacefully with other clients sharing the same server. If you are writing X clients, you need to read and understand the ICCCM, in particular the sections discussing the selection mechanism and the interaction between your client and the window manager. Alternate definition: the ICCCM is generally the M in "RTFM" and is the most-important of the least-read X documents. Get the ICCCM from these sources: - Version 2.0 of the ICCCM is an X Consortium standard as of R6. See xc/doc/specs/ICCCM in the R6 distribution. Older versions include: - as part of the R5 and R4 distribution - in the later editions of the Scheifler/Gettys "X Window System" book - as an appendix in the new version of O'Reilly's Volume 0, "X Protocol Reference Manual." A version in old copies of ORA Volume 1 is obsolete. The version in the Digital Press book is much more readable, thanks to the efforts of Digital Press's editors to improve the English and the presentation.
