# New Ideas in X11

- ## Client-side XID allocation reduces round-trips

- ## Request redirection and reparenting allow for external window management with decorations

- ## Synchronous grabs allow for predictable UI design with typeahead and mouseahead

- ## Rendering model taken from PostScript but stripped of some functionality

  - No affine transformations, splines or paths
  - Postscript specification used.
