What's the meaning of XShape, XFixes, Xrender...etc. X extensions.

[Matt Dew]

Danny,
  I've been working on rounding up Xorg documentation for several
months now.  The links I've found for extensions are gathered here:
http://osource.org/xorg/components.html

It's incomplete but ongoing and may help you.  If you find any more
good documentation, could you please email the list (cc me).

Matt
