I'm using X 4.0, and glibc 2.1.3 on this particular machine. I can find
the function symbols as defined within libXext.so.6, type "T",
indicating it is a regular, non-overloaded function, implemented within
the library file. I'm wondering if this is there only for some long-ago
backwards compatibility issue, since the software this is from has been
around several years. If the function was currently supported, I'd think
that one of the headers, such as XShm.h, would have a declaration in it.
