But those changes may be occurring in quadrants of the display that a particular client has no interest in as they are not displaying them. I'm really not trying to be deliberately difficult, but I'm clearly missing something. Imagine clients 1-4 displaying quarters of the whole desktop. Now imagine that the desktop has some realtime graphical display of changing data so changes may be happening in all four quadrants simultaneously. Client 1 will get the changing data for all quadrants, despite only needing the changing data for their quadrant. Or maybe changes are happening only in quadrant 2 but those changes get sent to client 1 even though it doesn't need them - unless there is a way that the client is indicating to the server which area it is displaying. It seems I must have got this totally wrong somehow but I'm not sure how?
