From the Xlib - C Language X Interface: "For each screen of the
display, there may be a list of valid visual types supported at
different depths of the screen."
Alright this is confusing me, this implies that one screen can handle
windows with 8, 16, 24, 32 bits color depth at the same time and show
the colors correctly. Is the color depth defined by the Visual or
Screen? If Visual, does that mean that the same Screen can handle
windows of different color depth or is that not possible because the
root window being the parent of all windows on a Screen, enforces a
certain color depth to be used?
