While the specification doesn't guarantee the partitioning of the resource 
ID space is the same for every client, the implementation happens to work 
that way.  So, identifying windows belonging to the same client is as 
simple as masking their IDs with the resource mask in the Display 
structure.

Formalizing that in the XFixes documentation would be reasonable (i.e., an 
X server advertising a specific XFIXES version would guarantee that the 
resource ID partitioning was the same for all clients).
