In this model, the <quote>X server</quote> runs on + the computer that has the keyboard, monitor, and mouse + attached. The server's responsibility includes tasks such + as managing the display, handling input from the keyboard + and mouse, and handling input or output from other devices + such as a tablet or a video projector. This confuses some + people, because the X terminology is exactly backward to + what they expect. They expect the <quote>X server</quote> + to be the big powerful machine down the hall, and the + <quote>X client</quote> to be the machine on their + desk.</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + + <varlistentry> + <term>X client</term> + + <listitem> + <para>Each X application, such as + <application>XTerm</application> or + <application>Firefox</application>, is a + <quote>client</quote>.

It + is also possible to run the X server on a less powerful + computer and to run the X applications on a more powerful + system. In this scenario, the communication between the X + client and server takes place over the network.</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + + <varlistentry> + <term>window manager</term> + + <listitem> + <para>X does not dictate what windows should look like + on-screen, how to move them around with the mouse, which + keystrokes should be used to move between windows, what + the title bars on each window should look like, whether or + not they have close buttons on them, and so on. Instead, + X delegates this responsibility to a separate window + manager application. There are <link + xlink:href="http://www.xwinman.org/">dozens of window + managers</link> available. Each window manager provides + a different look and feel: some support virtual desktops, + some allow customized keystrokes to manage the desktop, + some have a <quote>Start</quote> button, and some are + themeable, allowing a complete change of the desktop's + look-and-feel. Window managers are available in the + <filename>x11-wm</filename> category of the Ports + Collection.</para> + + <para>Each window manager uses a different configuration + mechanism.

This policy provides some means for choosing + which window is actively receiving keystrokes and it + should also visibly indicate which window is currently + active.</para> + + <para>One focus policy is called + <quote>click-to-focus</quote>. In this model, a window + becomes active upon receiving a mouse click. In the + <quote>focus-follows-mouse</quote> policy, the window that + is under the mouse pointer has focus and the focus is + changed by pointing at another window. If the mouse is + over the root window, then this window is focused. In the + <quote>sloppy-focus</quote> model, if the mouse is moved + over the root window, the most recently used window still + has the focus. With sloppy-focus, focus is only changed + when the cursor enters a new window, and not when exiting + the current window. In the <quote>click-to-focus</quote> + policy, the active window is selected by mouse click. The + window may then be raised and appear in front of all other + windows. All keystrokes will now be directed to this + window, even if the cursor is moved to another + window.</para> + + <para>Different window managers support different focus + models.
